I'd peg that at about $300-$400. alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to congratulate the seller for recognizing a bargain while being entirely ignorant of the real market value of that piece. It's a real rare combo.

comix4fun Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 And I like how he (in a super classy way) mentioned TWICE in the same sentence that the inker on the piece is deceased. "The artist on this piece is Chris Bachalo and (the now deceased) inker for this page was Malcolm Jones III (RIP). " I'm surprised he didn't alter the text of the Dead Parrot sketch for his auction description to reference Poor Malcolm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister_not_so_nice Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not sure if this constitutes an attempted flip or not. If I'm reading this correctly, THIS IS A PAGE CUT FROM AN ARTIST EDITION BOOK . But worth the price, since this is only the second time it's been printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
