The Felix Comic Art Podcast (Episode 61): Jim Halperin / Richard Martines...NOW UP!!

Published on September 4, 2025

It's been a while but we make up for it with a two-parter!

We kick things off with our annual catchup from San Diego Comic-Con with Heritage Auctions head honcho, Jim Halperin. There's arguably no one more important to the original art market than Jim, and there are few in his position who are as open. The NEW MUTANTS #98 cover, the new increased buyer's premium, the future of the hobby, and more! We touch on it all! Thanks Jim!

In part two, we pay a return visit to longtime collector, Richard Martines, on his home turf of Oahu. We dig into the alleged private sale of a DARK KNIGHT RETURNS page for $250K. A page that Richard happens to own and did not sell. Is there a forger at work out there? Also, Richard shares more collecting wisdom that listeners love! Thanks Richard!

And thanks to all our listeners...we don't put these out often, but we always try to make it worth your time. Enjoy!
