This will sound odd, but I own the B&W Cavewoman:Rain #3 (Caliber) Watercolor Art for the entire comic. It is the watercolors painted by artist Budd Root over photocopies of his original art. These are what was reproduced to make the comic. Here are a few samples:

Cavewoman:Rain #3 Page #5 Watercolor Art
Cavewoman:Rain #3 Pages #8 & #9 Watercolor Art
Cavewoman:Rain #3 Page #20 Watercolor Art

Here is my most recent purchase of comic art.
This is Flaming Frame #19. It is a custom frame made by Roxanne Star with original Flaming Carrot sketch art by Bob Burden. Both were setup together at a comic show. This was the nicest sketch I've gotten from Bob at a comic show.. Normally he does real quick loose sketches for fans. This piece functions a stand-alone one panel cartoon with tight pencils and inks.
Here is a photograph of the framed art...

I'm cheap, so this is probably the only original Steve Ditko page of art that I'll ever own. Inking by Gonzalo Mayo.
Shadowman #6 Page 16

Here is a Paul Gulacy Catwoman page. It's got some elements that I feel define his style. The original art looks so much nicer than the published page. I bought the comic after acquiring the art and I cringed after looking at the page in print.

Here's some original EC artwork from 1948 I believe. Three pages from Picture Stories From World History.

This is a preliminary sketch for a Fastner & Larson commissioned painting. It is done in Blue & Black pencils.
Rich Larson pencils the image first in black pencils. Then he makes this second image with black & blue pencils to assist with shading and depth I believe. Don't quote me on that. From there Steve Fastner paints his paining of the image using this as a guide.
It's 8-1/2" x 11"

Thanks! I only pick up art as a side hobby.
This was a very
affordable piece of art from the Spider-man newspaper cartoon. It
doesn't really have Spider-man in this one so it was cheaper. I just
grabbed it at Heroes Con one year as an afterthought.

Here is a Dave Berg cartoon strip from Mad Magazine. I picked this one
up because it features William Gaines as a character in the cartoon. I
believe the girl is someone significant as an employees also. I was
investigating to see if that was his wife but I never got anywhere with
that. There is a rough illustration on the wall in the background that
seemed to relate to EC comics. It took several years to locate any
similar EC image like that in print. It appears to be Dave Berg
reproducing Graham Ingels art on the cover to Squa Tront #4. Perhaps the
original art was actually on the wall in Mr. Gaines' office?! I like
Dave berg's work so this is an item I really like a lot.

Here is a rough Watercolor layout sketch done by Olivia De Berardinis. Typically, she's just known as Olivia. I actually had to start searching to find her full name. I bought this at Dragon Con in 2004 not realizing that it was a layout sketch for the image used on Dragon Con's program book that year. The full size finished painting cost something in the neighborhood of $8,000, so I was pleased to get this and pay significantly less. This is a very unusual piece in that it is signed by both Olivia and the model Sandra Taylor. Olivia is rarely in the same place as her models because the models do a photo shoot with her photographer and then she paints with the photographs for reference.
Here's a nice picture of Sandra Taylor signing the piece. If you are able to see past Sandra in the picture, you can see the fully painted image featured on the cover of the Dragon Con program book in the background.
