ComicConnect kicks off their 2025 convention schedule by flying down to Florida for the return of Orlando’s Original Art Expo on January 24-26, 2025. President Vincent Zurzolo and Original Art Coordinator Micah Spivak will be at the DoubleTree by Hilton outside Universal Studios with checkbooks in hand as ComicConnect gets ready for Event Auction 61.

“It’s really exciting to once again start a new year at the Orlando Art Expo,” Zurzolo said. “I know that there’s nothing like the thrill of finding a page of classic art by a favorite artist. OAX is also a great opportunity to show that ComicConnect is making major investments in remaining the world’s premier auction house for original comic art. We’re offering interest free cash advances for third party certified comics, original art, and more. That’s cash up front, at no cost, before we sell a single thing!”

ComicConnect will have top original art pieces available for purchase at the show, alongside rare works usually only seen when touring the permanent collection in the ComicConnect offices. There’s also first looks at original art pieces coming up for bid in the upcoming Event Auction 61 launching Monday, February 24. Those include Adam Kubert’s epic scratchboard cover to Return of Wolverine #5, an intricate Tradd Moore page from the first issue of The New World, and Gene Colan’s trinity of heroes for Secrets in the Shadows: The Art of Gene Colan, in addition to Jim Aparo’s classic cover for Batman #341 and a splash from Tim Sale for his acclaimed Superman for All Seasons #1. 

ComicConnect is also available to meet with sellers outside of the convention area. Consignors can arrange to meet with Zurzolo or Spivak at OAX through micahs@comicconnect.com, or by calling (212) 260-4147 or (888) 779-7377.
