what did the Hush page end at?

 

$9,560.  After a few minutes to recollect, I'm not sure my initial reaction of "yikes" is appropriate due to the final number, but I was bidding on it and you know...emotions and all.

Ahhhh!   I missed that, thanks!

Yeah, sorry, I was reacting to the What it? both the final number and the intensity of the bidding activity. 

[Bronty]

Got it!

Some nice Kirby pieces in this auction. I like the X-Men action page with Iceman in the bottom panel, but $26k is a lot more than I can afford to spend. If you just like Kirby and don't care too much about the title or characters, the Kamandi stuff went for very reasonable prices. I think the panel page with the horses was a good value. Congrats if one of you got that page. 

[Bronty]

well, that V page is going nuts

[comix4fun]

holy cow

20k!  gotta be a record at auction for a V for Vendetta panel?

In the Battle of the Alan Moore Books.

 

Swamp Thing #20 gets beat by Watchmen who themselves get beat by V for Vendetta

I believe that is an auction record. Still far from private sales of the last couple of years, though.

Still, this did much better than I had predicted. The main reason being that it isn't really  V on the page. It's the cloak and mask propped up on a coat rack. But maybe the bidders didn't care. Maybe the mask has become so iconic, that it's all that matters. Regardless, congrats to seller and buyer.

Yeah, it probably didn't matter...they can't pull off the mask and see the coat rack.

Nice looking left hand margin for sure. It was Day/Totleben. I wonder if it were Bissette/Totleben where it would have ended.

Shouldn't matter much; again, classic issue.   If I had dreamed it would end that cheap I would have been bidding.

My valuation centers on principles espoused as the "Hoberg Defense."
