Batman: The Killing Joke cover art

I think the page and the cover would be pretty even odds at auction as to which finishes higher. They would probably finish fairly close.

 

Where do you think the cover and the page would end up in price?

In my far less than professional opinion $450-500k with them finishing within 10% of each other.

Dammit, you had to beat me to an Oleg reference!

Agreed re: 400-500K.

I think the cover would go for more.

 

What's the top price paid for a KJ Panel page to this point? Or, a range? I thought I remember seeing that 20-25K was basically the entry level. Is that still about right?

A joker not in costume, no batman page went for 20k on HA maybe three years ago?

And I believe the highest paid publicly is for this one:

5 pages have sold through HA--highest being p14- the Barbara Gordon shooting page - at $107.5k in Aug 2014

The top two images of the greatest villain in comics history. I'd place a higher value on these than McSpidey and GL 76.

In increasing demand and value:

 

There are no character pages. Then Joker before he became Joker pages. Then Batman pages. Then there are Joker pages. Then there are Batman vs. Joker pages.....then there's THAT JOKER PAGE.

 

4+ years ago one of the pre-Joker pages (the pages with his wife, weeping, etc) went for just short of $20k..

 

Joker shooting Barbara page was $108k pretty much exactly 2 years ago.

 

Those are just the public sales.

 

Basically, it's like any other work. The gap between entry level and iconic isn't incremental, it's exponential.

Most definitely. Just trying to get a rough baseline/starting point. The pages from this book are so far out of my range, I've never really bothered to follow the sales.

 

Makes me sad.

IMO, the page could reach that kind of level (though, my guess would be more like $350K, plus or minus $100K, so $250-$450K), but the cover most likely would reach that level and quite possibly more. So, I'd take the cover. And then I'd shop it privately for a million bucks.

Where would the Joker shooting Barbara page rank?

I think some would rank it as the second most desirable. For mer personally it wouldn't be top 5 and MAYBE not top 10.

I will say if someone told me that cover or that page sold for a million, I would not necessarily be shocked.

[Bronty]

interesting how on the poll results so far we more or less have the beginnings a bell curve for the cover but the panel results are scattershot.

Is the OA site listing the highest prices paid still online somewhere? I can't find it.
