What examples of 'INFAMOUS' comic art would be fun to own?

I'll go first - to get some obvious ones out of the way -

- Back in the day, the Michael Golden 'Patience Is A Virue' Doctor Strange commission was actually available on eBay.  I really regret not going for that one, would be a hoot to own now.
 - Admit it, it would be kinda hilarious to own that Liefeld Captain America pinup.  You know the one.
- I'd probably be willing to spend real money to land an art-free Byrne page from the 'Snowblind' issue of Alpha Flight. (#6)

I'm sure there are more?

Funnily enough, that's the one that immediately sprang to mind the moment I read the topic header!  lol

I'm blown away by this cover.

Maybe that's how Eli Wallach's 50% absence was finally discovered.....

And as for Foreman, well, I'm saying nothing about him or his family. No, nothing about Fore's kin will be said.

Would OA with a banned word count? An Unknown Solider story which just sold on HA (and one with a civil rights theme) contained the N word. I've seen other 70s examples with this usage (stories making a point about racism), but considering that word will never be used in any US comics ever again, I would argue it makes the art infamous to an extent... one wonders if the usage might even prevent a page with it from being sold via public venues in the future.

The unpublished Rafael Albuquerque cover of Joker holding Batgirl hostage. I hate what he did to Babs and how the industry used it to corner her for a while, but I didn't have much of an issue with this cover. I do think Albuquerque handled the controversy really well though.

I missed out on this Incredible Hercules #122 page by a couple months; Clayton Henrey was going around conventions with stacks of his OA from this series and Spider-girl. When he came to St. Louis this was the first page I asked about and he sold it for $75 at the start of the con season without knowing how much of a meme it had become at the time

 

THE PRESENCE OF THE Z AXIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT WHEREVER THIS IS, IT'S UNDERWATER ANY SEA CHARTS? COURSE WHAT DID工 TELL THEM HIPPOLYTA? CLEARLY SP N ENOUGH TIME WITH HERCULES TO YOU'RE AS LOVELY AS THE DAY WE FIRST SHIELDMAIDS ARE SO FRIENDLY WITH HIM. PERHAPS YOU CHANCE TO SWEET QUEEN THERE y0μ ARE
