From back in the day, when page 1 had the credits, I always thought of it as the "Title Page"

Also, I've heard of Grail Pages but don't have it. It's something I need to pick up some day. I'd definitely snag one if I saw it for 50% off.

EDIT: This book is not that expensive, list price was only $16, I got one on Amazon Marketplace for $10 including shipping.

Here is the Kevin Maguire Metal Men page I got from The Artist's Choice.

It's Page 6 of the Metal Men "second feature" in Doom Patrol #3, it's pencils only (not inked):

And, here is my recent acquisition from Anthony's Comicbook Art. A wonderful page of Superman reveling in the exuberance of flying from Action Comics #653 page #7. Pencils by Bob McLeod, inks by Brett Breeding:

I finally took some pics of my art for insurance purposes. Then put them out on comicartfans.com. Here's a link to my gallery:

I really love those JL generation lost pages, and the Chew page. Great stuff

Thanks! That double page from JL: Gen Lost is the biggest coup in my small collection

Just added a new seller to the "key" post; Catskill Comics:
http://www.catskillcomics.com/index.htm

They're having a sale right now:
50% off on Paul Abrams
25% off on Tom Mandrake
25% off on Jan Duursema

I just sent in an order & have my fingers crossed that the pages are still available!

Here are a couple of pages I picked up directly from artist Colleen Doran on eBay.......

I really like how she draws faces, so it's relatively inexpensive to get pages that have some good faces & no super-heroes in costumes. I'd love to get a nice page from "A Distant Soil" some day.......

Colleen Doran (pencils) + Terry Austin (inks): Power Pack #2 p.11

Colleen Doran (pencils) + Bob Wiacek (inks): Reign of the Zodiac #4 p.10

I can see a lot of Maguire in her faces -- great expressions. Awesome stuff.

Picked up a commission from Nick Pitarra. He was nice enough to include a remarked Red Wing #1 too!

Finally got my order from Spencer Beck (Artist's Choice) from about 6 weeks ago.... He's got some good art, but does not take electronic payment (you need to send a check) & it takes a long time to get stuff from him.....

Dale Eaglesham - Captain America v3 #6 page 14

Dan Jurgens (pencils) + George Perez (inks) - Teen Titans(1996) # 6 page 4

SeanChen (pencils) + Sean Parsons (Inks) - Iron Man(1998) # 7 page 10

Marshall Rogers - Scorpio Rose #1 page 14

And another couple of pages I snagged from Anthony Snyder:

Here's the classic Kurt Schaffenberger with a page I just love, Pete Ross discovering Clark Kent is Superboy while camping, from the New Adventures of Superboy #36 pahe 8:

And the cover to Archie & Friends #101 by Dan Parent (w/ some photostat elements):
