That's interesting to hear as I've heard Frazetta keeps most of his original artwork.
Any idea what it sold for?
I'm not sure if it sold or not. The estimate was $80,000 - $100,000.
It was the 1996 Sotheby's Comic & Comic Art Auction (Sale #6872). If you only buy ONE comic auction catalog, buy this one.
It includes (among other things), the original cover art for Mask Comics #1 & #2, Hit Comics #5, Zap #1, Hawkman #1, Brave & Bold #61, title splash for TOS #39. Frazetta pieces include concept cover art for Vampirella #1, cover art for Famous Funnies #209, Tim Holt #17, and this oil painting "Savage World".
