That Moebius is awesome!

And this one doesn't suck either. Normally I like my WM pages to be nine panels and have word balloons on them, but in this case I'd make an exception:

Watchmen

A Heritage Auction with nine items in it? Unusual.

Ah, I must have clicked on a link that selected only the Gaiman- related items.

hit a little hiccup placing some bids, but looks like its all good and off to the races now!

The Watchmen page is getting the obligatory early "price defense" bids.

[tth2]

Following the live auction right now, Neil Gaiman is there doing live commentary on each lot.  Very cool! 

[tth2]

The Watchmen #7 page went for $132,000.

[tth2]

Strong prices.

The Jean Giraud (Moebius) Death Pin-Up went for $96,000.

The auctioneer is so annoying with dragging out everything at the end. Hour in and only 20 lots so far.

That Muth piece was a steal though.  Absolutely striking. I think that's the only one that's gone lower than expected. Just bad timing for me or I'd have gladly have shelled out $13k for it. 

 

[tth2]

Wow.  The Jill Thompson page from Sandman #48 went for $36,000!  

I'm getting the feeling that I'm not going to win the piece I've got my eye on. 

[tth2]

The Totleben Miracleman #16 cover went for $96,000.

[jjonahjameson11]

Very strong prices thus far.

buyers willing to pay a significant premium to own a piece from Gaiman’s collection!

[tth2]

The Vess Sandman #75 page went for $48,000.

I was wondering how the unpublished pieces would do.  The answer is very strongly, no doubt thanks to the Gaiman connection.
