Writer Mark Evanier has had many valuable pieces of comic book original art by Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragones and Dave Stevens (to name just a few) stolen from his home. A full list is at the Bleeding Cool web site.
"Years ago, I did some comic books for Eclipse Comics featuring characters created by the talented Will Meugniot and myself. The two main ones were The DNAgents and Crossfire. I was fortunate to have along with Will, other friends who drew real well…like the late, great Dave Stevens. Dave drew several covers for us and was nice enough to present me the original art for two of those covers — Crossfire and Rainbow #4 and DNAgents #24. Everyone loved what he did — including, apparently, a construction-type worker who did some work at my house. Or at least, he loved those covers or maybe what he thought he could sell them for well enough to steal the originals and some other stuff when I wasn't looking. Yes, I know who he is. No, I don't know where he is although the Los Angeles Police Department says they're hot on his trail. If you see the originals to these — and some other pages I may list here soon — please let me know. Make the jobs of our hard-working detectives easier and make me smile."
