Is this for real? 0

I have to admit the proportions are WAAAAY off, but I still think it's an ok painting.  AH's proportions are always spot on (he works from photos, right?).

Maybe if it was cropped more like this.....  I actually really like the face.

You would think if you are asking for a couple grand you could take a decent photo of the art.

The clearer you can see it the worse it looks. 

If I were the seller I'd take a pic of it through a dirty window from across the street.

That's a good point.  We should all ask the seller that.

ha ha, I asked the seller what a thrid party authenticator was, and he replied saying DC doesn't have in house authenticators so they need a 3rd party.  Then I said why is it spelled thrid and if something that simple is spelled wrong, what else could be wrong.  He then replied that he has seen COA with worse errors and I can buy with confidence.  That was a few days ago, then today he sent me this:

"After you brought it to my attention that there was a typo on the COA I contacted DC Comics and they responded by sending me a new COA which is now posted on the listing 
Also if you are interested please email me "

I agree that AH draws with better proportions... this head is way to small for the body, even in the way you cropped it. As others said, the painting isn't bad, it just appears to be a forgery.

We should pass a hat around for collection and put in an offer for $50. We could use the art as the forum mascot.

Only if we can get the original recalled COA.

What is a THRID party authenticator?  I read it carefully on the AH COA but I don't know what a "Thrid" is?

What’s a “signiture?”
