Here's a record for a "comic art" auction -- kind of makes the Fred

Ray/Jerry

Robinson Batman #11 cover look like at steal at $200,000, doesn't it?

And to

think , the Lichtenstein mage is based on a romance comic panel. Oh,

the

humanity.

 

<< The excitement was palpable when Christopher Burge announced Roy

Lichtenstein's 1963 painting "In the Car." The flawless provenance,

exquisite quality

and rarity of the painting all contributed to its appeal. The iconic

work sold

for an impressive $16,256,000, easily exceeding the previous

Lichtenstein

auction record of $7.15 million, achieved for "Happy Tears" at

Christie's in

2002.>>

 

PS: Happy Holidays.

This may be a new record for "comic art" at auction, but it is not a new record for comic-related art since Steve Cohen purchased Andy Warhol's "Superman" for ~$25 million in a private sale last year.
