What did it end up going for? $10k Okay, I said in the GA thread that I'm not shocked by prices anymore. I lied. I'm shocked. I also want to meet the buyer.

Bronty Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Ditto. I figured 250. in comics I found the Lois lane 106 for 57k shocking as well, although I don’t follow the book Edited November 21, 2021 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like I said in that other thread, we joke around about how fun it would be to own terrible examples but then when it comes time to write the check, boy it’s hard to do.

I was willing to go 5 on the Mazz Kingpin but it went for 10! Then again, I was only willing to go 5 because I thought it would be a good buy at that price Now I'm just curious where the Tim Sale Batman will finish it (not bidding) Malvin batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The 7x10 Bill Ward ink piece went for almost $2,000. Seems to me that's about 3x the recent market. Bill Wenzl's are now about $1,000 each for ink wash examples and of course Dan Decarlo Humorama cartoons have gone up a lot over the last few years. I guess that the Big 3 of Humorama are getting their due. Mike Mighty Hal, Randall Dowling and jimjum12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Jokes aside, I’m not surprised that there would be fans of that item. If a Bruner Dr Strange is 400k, why not 200k for that. 300 is surprising but someone clearly wanted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this isn't about the art at all, is it? Exactly, it’s about the fact it was used on the cover, so whatever right? I agree, most comic artists can’t paint that well at all. These aren’t that horrible though apart from typewriter subject matter and heroes chopped up with scissors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
