Michael Turner Fathom swimsuit cover hits $22+k on CLink 0

I was watching this one since since there doesn't seem to be a lot of inked Turner covers showing up - and not ones of this magnitude:

$22,472 - not sure if that's low, high or average, anyone chime in on this one?

I'm not a Turner collector but I thought this would end in the 15k-17.5k range because it's such a well-known image. IMO it went high

it's a memorable, breathtaking piece of art. Turner is on a level not quite Dave Stevens, but he had his own unique way of drawing beautiful heroines. This is Aspen, not Witchblade, but I'm happy to see Michael's work gaining momentum with dollars behind it. I have no stake, and I'll probably have to ride out the rest of my collecting days without getting hold of a piece as good as this by Turner. Well bought. I'm jealous, which is a sin.

Yeah, I'm in that boat as well - but I still have hopes to pick up a tight sketch someday. This was a neat auction to watch the last few hours of the bidding.

I had it around $15K as well. But not surprised it went for the amount it did. Beautiful and well recognized image
