It took one month and a half to go from auction #40 to #50 (May, 20 to July, 03), work started again everywhere and probably Jim was slowed by deadlines like everybody else.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re reading part 5 in a series of articles analyzing Jim Lee\u2019s Original Comic Art Auctions. Auctions benefit Comic Book stores in need during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an overview of auctions #41-50.<\/p>\n

The last 20 drawings were headsketches, a choice made to draw faster after many cover quality illustrations, but as we know many headsketches were as detailed as a full illustration (and some were indeed more than a \u201chead\u201d).<\/p>\n
For these latest ten drawings he chose to do full painted art, often also varying techniques. Shots are also varied, I count 3 headshots, 5 full figures, a waist-up and a bust.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\nWe have a new record.<\/h3>\n
Painted art, and more well known characters chosen, helped auctions #41-50 reach a new record, with more than $133k raised. #50 is also a new record for a single auction, with $22,100. All of the ten auctions went over $7,5k. Flashpoint Batman (#50) is perfect for a record, a painted depiction of Batman in a classic Jim Lee pose. The old record price was for #34, Ace the Bat Hound, sold for $20,100. It probably made a record because we had a Batman bust in the background, this time we had a full Batman with no strange costumes, and it paid.<\/p>\n
It is also worth noting that #49 is a classic Superman pose, and it made $14k despite being a bust shot, drawing top characters is always the best choice to raise more.<\/p>\n
