The 2 pages whose images have been removed from the auction house website are not the ones from the links you give (which are not covers but illustrations). The first one (1M€+) is the one you can see on the first link provided by Bronty. The second one (950k€) is also a cover. Here is the PDF version of the catalog.

Some artworks already reached a million... and more http://comicarttracker.com/en/auctions/top-prices

It's called European comic art auction because this auction is based in Europe (Netherlands) and the two "experts" are a French and a Belgian gallerists who previously worked with Sotheby's on a couple of auctions these last years (one of them also being a huge comic art collector). Regarding USD, I guess Heritage website is not designed to handle auctions in another currency. But as you can always see bids in any currency that's not really an issue. Regarding buyer fees, it's more than usually (25% instead of 19.5%) but it does not change anything for us European collectors because we used to pay the 19.5% buyer fees + 5.5% custom fees = 25%. The only difference is that we won't have to pay for shipping. That's my understanding, I may be wrong ;-)

This 60-yo page from Astro Boy by famous artist Osamu Tezuka was estimated 40-60k€ and sold 2 days ago for more than 210k€ + fees https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-osamu-tezuka-1928-1989-astro-boy-tome-4-encre-de-chine-et-aquarelle-pour-la-page-25-de-cet

Urania auctions always have (too) high starting prices and their lots often don't hit the reserve. For instance, in the previous Urania auction (nov 2017) only 31% of their lots have been sold. You can also try to buy it aftersale but I don't think they will accept it below this starting price.

Not sure if it's the kind of cover you're looking for, but there is a Diabolik cover for sale on Catawiki : Zaniboni, Sergio - cover originale Diabolik anno XXXIX n. 3 (2000)

That's because it makes me drool for 2 years! Not sure I should wish you good luck with your offer

Except that, now, ComicArtTracker does the job for you and extract the original art content

It really depends on the artist. Some of them take their time, some others (often the famous ones - when they still do it) don't. You can see a fairly good sample here: https://www.2dgalleries.com/browse/index?timespan=3&order=10&catid=15

Because, in Japan, if you buy a page of original art, you own the copyright on this page.

I did, 4-5 months ago. I paid online and the package was shipped immediately (to France), strongly packaged. In a word, it was perfect!

An homage to Jim Lee's Batman?

Building a FAQ / help section is important, but I did not find time to do it yet... there's always something more important (and more fun to do ^^). In the meantime, feel free to send me a message with your search query, the results you don't understand, etc.
