This piece has been available from that seller for about 3 years. The price has come way down from his original $750 ask.
The piece does not appear in the Crow series. It MAY appear in the soon-to-be-released* Director's Cut TPB of 'The Crow', along with a hundred or so unused pages.
That's a decent grab, at that price. I tracked the auction because I knew someone would hit the BIN, and I wanted to see how long it would take. Not to go all Delos Santos** on you, it's a great piece but the back shot is always a tough buy for me.
*a book that has been 'soon to be released' for about 5 years now. Maybe someday, but not soon.
** one who gives backhanded/left handed compliments, usually involving the phrase, 'I passed on this, but good to see it again/good to see it found a good home'.
Awesome. That's just about all the info I was looking for! I'm happy with the back shot for $200, especially since the piece is vintage and cheaper than some of the kinda iffy stuff that O'Barr has done in the last couple years.
Just out of curiosity, does the seller have a website where the piece was up for sale or was it available via ebay auctions?
