LINK. I never thought I'd see the day that a living artist's splash page would sell for that amount. I am truly astounded.

I don't really care for Miller's art, but that's one of the nicer of his pieces that I've seen. Still, I wouldn't even pay $448 for it.

Almost half a mil! I wonder who has that kind of cabbage to put down? This "beat" the Weird Fantasy #29 by Frazetta?
I wonder what this sold for originally?

Someone with a cabbage for a head, obviously.

I think it's a fair price. I would say it's probably my favorite piece of comic book art - ever! - and I don't care for Miller and think DKR was pretty "Meh" in the end, but when I first saw that page, decades ago - I literally lost my breath for a moment. It's awesome. To this day - when I stumble upon it, I'm a little taken back by it. I'd say it's a fair price.

Somewhere Miller and Janson must be going: "Seriously? For that kind of money, we would recreate that for you at twice the size, in color and add a marching band."
If there was any justice in the world, that would be either Miller or Janson who had held onto the page until now and put it up for auction themselves (or himself).

That looks really cool in black-and-white. I'd like to see the whole series that way.

Maybe if we're lucky IDW will make an artist's edition of it ;-)

Not a slight on Miller, but that is an awesome Janson piece, seen in black
and white like that.
