[action1kid]

back in the mid 1990s i was fortunate enough to witness an auction for the original artwork for the cover to motion picture funnies weekly #1...it was an auction were i met steve geppi,he did not win however and the artwork went for 23k.

does anyone know where this piece is right now? has anyone ever seen it besides me?

Steve G. and Brad S. competed for the piece at the Sothebys auction in 1993. Brad won. The covers for the other three issues were also offered and sold from the Jacquet estate.

Is he the guy who was buying up heavy multiples of Avengers #4? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he used to be at Chicago Con frequently also. The Avengers #4 thing is what I remember about him.
