  1. Reflecting on my initial words, it occurs to me that I omitted a crucial detail—I hold a genuine fondness for the cover. Regrettably, under the presumption of a loftier fate at auction, I refrained from casting my bid. A missed opportunity at such a modest price.

    In the realm of Barracuda's obscurity, my curiosity led me through the pages of Punisher Max, witnessing the clash between him and Frank in the pursuit of Frank's daughter. Though unaccustomed to the modern comic domain, the narrative proved a compelling read. Amidst the overtly violent tapestry, it unraveled the unwavering resolve of Frank Castle, revealing the lingering embers of humanity within.

  2. Gratitude extends to all for the insightful responses and the wealth of information shared—undeniably intriguing.

    Yet, my interest is piqued, wondering if a reply may surface regarding the sale price from @Nexus Felix of Felix Comic Art. The same cover found its  way to the hands of collector in times past via his website.

    Be it your inclination or that of others to cast an indifferent gaze upon it, to harbor apathy or dismiss it as mundane—irrefutably, Yellowstone stands as a cultural spectacle. It transcends the confines of a mere television success.

    Acknowledging your discerning eye that uncovered the Paramount network typo, permit me to confess that the meticulous scrutiny of forum posts seldom becomes a habit in my routine.

     

     

  4. In the yesterday's Heritage Auction, did the dance of the gavel deem the Ryan Stegman's Barracuda vs. Punisher #3 cover to a humbler fate than anticipated? The buyer received not only Stegman's graphite ballet on one page but also the rhythmic ink strokes of JP Mayer on another.

    The mini-series was cancelled.  The cover was a herald of solicitations before Marvel dropped the ax on it. Does a cover, curated by Stegman's skilled hand, not command a sum loftier than the modest $380.00+- it received at the auction’s end?

    While you express an unfamiliarity of Yellowstone it is and has been the most popular show on TV.  In the current declining TV viewership it is an abnormality and a phenomenon that is reaching massive amounts of people.

    As the tapestry of Yellowstone's fourth season gracefully unfolded, its concluding episode resonated with an audience reminiscent of the fervor surrounding the season finale of Game of Thrones in 2016. Yellowstone’s same day viewership was higher than Game of Thrones - (9.3 million vs 8.9 million).  To illustrate the point further the series ending episode of Breaking Bad (2013) drew 10.3 million same day viewers.

    While your unfamiliarity of Yellowstone may linger, an intriguing oddity emerges -  in today’s TV medium it has a colossal fan base and its rating rivals shows from times that had fewer options competing for viewership.
