That was a bit more of a singular, identifiable, example...the one page from that one issue that was indisputably the page that started it all for that character. Tends to lead to a more focused blood-sport bidding situation than one of many pages with the cover to the same issue also out there and available. 
So, it's not the best apples-to-apples....if we had some pages from 181 out there, that would feel more same end of the same pool at the same temperature kind of situation. 

 

Hater.

....the Trimpe Hulk 180 page sold for $650k, and that was TEN YEARS AGO!

What are predictions on this one? 

I think this will be the second highest price interior we have ever seen sold once it hammers. Secret Wars 8 will hold the highest title for a while.

Looks Like another fantastic auction. 

Wasn't even aware that Fujitani ever did cover reproductions, but I guess it makes sense

If it's just a reproduction, then I withdraw my "Wow!".

Hmm...there's no description of the item of the item yet, but it is part of the"Featured" items. One would think it is the original. But you are right; it has Bob Fujitani sig at the bottom. Fujitani drew some of the stories along with Kubert, but the cover is attributed to Rudy Palais. Does the original exist?

Comparing the art posted for Eerie 1 to the actual published comic there are too many fine details that don't match up. I don't see any way the art being offered is going to turn out to be the actual published art.

Probably a mistake then.    Given the volume of items that are no doubt in the collection, its somewhat understandable, as long as its caught quickly.    Somebody hands you two Action 1's you're not thinking anything in the collection isn't 'real.'      That said, there's going to be likely a multiple six figure difference between the original and a recreation, so.... would be nice to get it right, and quickly.

From Featured Item to Wednesday Weekly

I was always under the impression Kubert did the cover.

My understanding is that Bob always said he created that cover (never heard of Palais being associated with the book).

Bob did a lot of panels at SDCC with Evanier over the years, maybe Mark can confirm.
