Nice big published vintage Spidey images get the bucks no matter who drew it.

[jaybuck43]

Anyone else wondering if the bidder on the Carrier Fisher Olivia piece actually read the description?  I can't imagine paying $18,000 for a piece the size of printer paper (9"x12").  Even framed, that is going to look tiny on the wall.

66k/18k = 24x30/9x12?

Haven't been keeping a close eye on this auction today, but scrolling through the results has me thinking prices are really strong this time around.  Am I reading that correctly?  Is Heritage taking crypto currency now or something?

Some big state controlled Chinese banks are moving heavy into comics.

 good thought, but doesn't check out.  $91.67 per square inch for the WW and $166.67 per square inch on the Leia.

Pretty much everything seems like people really don't want to keep their money. I hope these bidders don't come back tomorrow.

Incorrectly thought the Keown A+X #1 was a cover.

The only thing I've been watching that went for less than I expected was the Keown A+X #1 Hulk and Wolverine cover. Pretty much everything else seems like people really don't want to keep their money. I hope these bidders don't come back tomorrow.

It is a splash page, not a cover

Oops, I somehow got that in my head and never re-read it those times I went back to look at the art. In that case, even that did alright. Good thing I couldn't figure out a way to afford to bid on it, since I already have too much tied up in later pieces.
