The article mentions a rumour  that the cover art for Hulk 181 exists.  Has that ever been confirmed?

Don't quote me but I have a vague recollection that it had been destroyed in a fire.**

I read about the fire, but it didn’t mention the cover to Hulk 181.

Same thread in OA

I don't know about the cover, but all I have heard is that the 'art' for Hulk 181 was destroyed in the Len Wein house fire.

Okay. This artwork is worth more than #1's of Batman and Superman? WTF?

I perdict a bubble pop in OA-its just expanding too rapidly in value and changing hands back and forth with a someowhat small group in many cases-

Many of us would love a bubble pop for the sake of our disintegrated wallets.  But for better or worse, OA collectors have become legion... if you sign up to the comicartfans.com newsletter, you'll see what I mean.

True but the high dollar stuff-I may be misinformed but Ive heard there's a small circle that buys those and pieces rotate amongst them.  This would be one way to continuously raise the values on high end OA.

That happens among dealers to an extent, but I know waaay too many ordinary collectors who splurge on grails at the risk of their marriages.

Too many like me.

that shirt is not at all flattering....unless you are a professional athlete lycra is not your friend

So is there any back story to how it was relocated, by comicconnect and whether they bought it from the OO that Gil Kane sold it to or simply secured the auction rights to it?
