Joe Bodnar, the auction houses curator, expressed enthusiasm for the event, stating, I am honored to be working together with Kevin to showcase his collection. Each piece of his collection is unique and beautiful. Personally, I am a Batman fan, and the pages he has in this sale are all keepers. My current reduction in home wall space is going to make some ardent comic collectors dreams come true. Own original interior art or killer covers from my Daredevil and Green Arrow runs and pick through classic comic book graphics Ive collected over the years. This will be the sale of the century, and a percentage of our proceeds will go to a scholarship fund at the Joe Kubert School, said Smith. The Kubert School, formerly the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art and Joe Kubert School, is a private, technical school focused on cartooning and located in Dover, N.J. Participation in this auction promises an unforgettable experience. The sale will be broadcasted live online on several platforms, including Bodnars Auction, Liveauctioneers, Invaluable, Bidspirit, and Auction Zip. Smith will be at the broadcast reminiscing and describing each lot as they sell it. Bidders will have the opportunity to view the collection in person, by appointment, on Tuesday, Sept. 26, in Monmouth Junction, N.J. Additionally, a comprehensive online catalog will be made available on www.bodnarsauction.com, allowing worldwide access to this extraordinary collection.
