Subject: [comicart-l] FYI on Simonson Thor on ebay
Hi All,
I saw a Simonson Thor on ebay that just seemed a little off.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Walt-Simonson-Thor-Sketch-Signed/254828506999?hash=item3b54f66f77:g:AxcAAOSwbYJf977j
I managed to reach Simonson and this is was his reply:
I can't be sure, but I think this isn't by me. Some of it looks like lines I
might draw. I'm inclined to think it's a copy of one of my sketches. The
signature in particular does not look like mine, especially on the right side.
So I'm not 100% certain, but it seems unlikely
It doesn't help that the same seller also has a Kirby Darkseid and a Jerry
Robinson Joker (not my area of expertise but often faked as we all know)
