Nearly 7K for a Mignola non-Hellboy cover ?

Dark Horse Cover

 

Am I the only one that was shocked at the outcome of this ?

Yes it's a cool gothic cover, but it's non-Hellboy and it's $6,766.67

 

I thought it would sell for half that...at most

Wow. Whoever wanted that cover, wanted it bad! It is nice.

I am with you on this one. I saw the final result and I have wanted to ask someone what the deal is....big Lovecraft/Mignola fan I guess.

 

The buyer is from the UK so with the pound to dollar conversion he did pretty well.

Crazy money. My wife loves Lovecraft, I love Mignola, we both think the number was huge.

 

Once Hellboy recedes into the distance -- if he ever does -- it'll be interesting to see if the current prices for Mignola OA hold up.

[Kamandi Kid-migration]

True...that is one of the many dangers of paying "full retail" for newer OA....you don't know what it will be worth down the road. However, if you TRULY love what you buy and have the spare $ to back it up........it's all good.

 

Personally, I wouldn't pay that much either but what do I know......I LOVE Kirby Kamandi.

Look at the bid history - i bet the winner wishes the underbidder was not there - would have saved $4K!

[Tatterdamillion]

Yikes! I am currently paying off a Mignola cover that I prefer to this piece,I can't wait!.I was watching this one thinking it would go for much less than what I am currently going into debt for. I was wrong.

lovecraft... has to be the lovecraft connection.

I'm shocked as well but at the same time I'm realizing I've got an extra retirement salary in my pocket!

That is prolly my favorite mainstream (meaning the big two) Mignola cover

[paperheart]

lordy, lordy this makes me happy. i've got a mignola hellboy cover. have any of those traded hands recently? i see albert's got a cover that's closing tomorrow. i think the lovecraft piece is an anomaly- two bidders (one w/ little history) bidding it $4k higher than the #3 bidder.

[brandolsn]

that was a big ouch to see - doesn't get much better for a Mignola without Hellboy though.

[KAMIKAWA]

That is pretty suprising, but the crossover Lovecraft love, plus the newly released Baltimore gothic novel, the fact that Mignola art in general is getting scarce (due to him no longer doing interiors,for now,) and the fact that it's a wonderful cover It is as a whole a price that seems high but understandable why it garnered so much. Curious to see if this affects his other art prices, my guess for now, not much other than a slight bump in his covers.

[KAMIKAWA]

Wow, looks like quality older Hellboy are gonna get a big bump! Take a look at this beauty!

It has everything you'd want in a Hellboy page - a great Hellboy, deep, dark shadows, occult imagery... 5K, with more than 3 days to go!

[invisibleghosts]

That's one hell of a page, but for $5k (so far!) I could get a whole bunch of cool other things.....although owning a Hellboy page would be amazing.
