For some more background on our auction house (http://www.NateDSanders.com) and its sale of original art, here is a news article about our original art auction house from The Chicago Tribune regarding our auction of the estate of Ray Bradbury with many fine pieces of comic art, illustration art and animation cels.  We at NateDSanders.com Auctions sold a Dean Ellis original ”Red Illustrated Man” painting commissioned for the cover art of Ray Bradbury’s ”The Illustrated Man” for $45,894 in that auction.

Bradbury estate auction brings nearly $500,000

Ted Gregory

Those looking for a herringbone sport jacket with a story to tell can still buy Ray Bradbury‘s version, some of his jewelry, even a set of oil paints.

But a large swath of the estate of the acclaimed author and Waukegan native has been purchased at auction, for a total of $493,408.

Bradbury, who left Waukegan for California at age 13, became an iconic figure in American literature. Known particularly for science fiction, he wrote “Fahrenheit 451,” “The Illustrated Man” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes.” By the time of his death in Los Angeles in 2012 at age 91, 8 million copies of Bradbury’s books had been sold in 36 languages.

“I was shocked how well some of these items went,” said Sam Heller, spokesman for Nate D. Sanders Fine Autographs & Memorabilia, the Los Angeles enterprise that organized the online auction of 460 pieces. It concluded Thursday night.

Before then, some lots sold for 10 times the original bid, Heller noted.

“That’s a testament to how enthusiastic Ray Bradbury fans are,” he added. “They seem to have a real passion for a literary icon like him.”

Less affection was expressed for the jacket Bradbury wore while he co-wrote the screenplay with John Huston for the 1956 film “Moby Dick.” The single-breasted brown and tan coat — size 42 — had a starting bid of $2,000. It remained unsold Friday afternoon, as did several items of jewelry and an oil paint set.

But a Dean Ellis painting of a tattooed man for the cover of the 1969 edition of Bradbury’s “The Illustrated Man” sold for $45,894, the auction house reported. The original bid was $6,000. In addition, Bradbury’s surrealistic painting “Carnival,” made by Joseph Mugnaini, sold for $23,153, well above its original price of $2,500.

And, Bradbury’s Hugo Award, science fiction’s most prestigious honor, sold for $28,734, nearly six times its original bid of $5,000.

Overall, about 250 of the 460 items sold. Remainders are available for sale at the original bid price, Heller said. If those fail to sell, their fate will be left to Bradbury’s family, he said.

Nate D. Sanders Auctions has also sold the following similar items:

”Prince Valiant” Sunday Artwork by Hal Foster From 1939 — Perhaps the Most Recognizable Artwork by Hal Foster From ”Prince Valiant”, the Majestic Andelkrag Castle

One of the greatest pieces of artwork by Hal Foster in his career, the original artwork for the 120th ”Prince Valiant” Sunday comic strip from 28 May 1939. In this instantly recognizable piece — featured on the cover of Fantagraphics’ ”Prince Valiant Vol. 2: 1939-1940” and in numerous ”Prince Valiant” publications — Val sees the foreboding castle of Andelkrag in person, surrounded by Huns as they prepare to attack it. The six panel strip measures 26” x 34.5”, (the large Andelkrag panel measures 17” x 21” by itself), with incredible detail showing the seemingly impregnable fortress, the mountains behind it, the flames roiling up aside it and Prince Valiant standing upon a hillside, gazing at its beauty and enormity. In this strip, Val makes his approach and plunges into the river moat at darkness, to find a fire-raft built by the Huns in order to destroy Andelkrag’s bridge. As Prince Valiant destroys their handiwork, the Huns vow revenge in return. Artwork is signed by Foster on the second panel, inscribed to ”Edward W. Larson / with friendly greetings / Hal Foster”. With King Features Syndicate, Inc. label on fifth panel, with 1939 copyright. The date of 28 May 1939 appears on the fourth panel, along with ”120”, the number of this Prince Valiant strip in the life of the series. Artwork is mounted to board and matted to a size of 33” x 41.5”, with matting strips separating the panels. With minute amount of soiling, artwork is in near fine condition. Accompanied by the color newsprint of this artwork and two ”Prince Valiant” books featuring this strip. Sold for $70,461.
