It's an interesting and unique item (though quite small) and would make a good display piece.  The price tag doesn't exactly seem unreasonable to me in today's market.  If it ends up with on a dealer's web-site, expect lots of hype to pump up the price further.

It's ridiculous.  But then again so are the prices being paid for all comic book art these days.

Great piece and I bet this winds up on a dealer's site for double that price very soon. It's an incredible image -- and AFAIK, the published painting has never surfaced. I spent years trying to track down the whereabouts of the Fireside painted covers, and I never heard a peep about this. I'm actually surprised the Sons of Origins painting hasn't popped up yet with so many black hole collections finally opening up.

I own the inked prelim for this ad. Before the comicconnection auction  I thought my artwork was the prelim for the painted cover. I learned Romita did two versions for the fireside covers. My piece has Nick Fury instead of Scarlett Witch and all the lettering is hand drawn.
