Anyone want to split it with me? Hopefully Heritage takes Affirm in 60,000 installments.

Obviously, it’s an important piece. But is it worth more than the two previous records for comic / fantasy art set by Frazetta ($5.4M for Egyptian Queen in 2019, $6M for Dark Kingdom last year)?

Guess it depends on the buyer. There’s probably some crazy wealthy Deadpool fan out there somewhere.

That is shocking to me. I wouldn't even expect that to go for a million.

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
Maybe Ryan Reynolds will buy it.

Personally, I can think of 7.5 million things I'd rather do than buy that artwork.

For real who else would have bought it. If you told me it was superman 1 or something i would get it.

Clearly the value is in the subject matter and not the art itself.

Deadpool has transcended comic books to be a pop culture phenomenon so a high asking price isn't out of this world. Plus, those pouty lips, those weird feet, and the pouches! This art should be going for $10M. If I had that kind of Screw You money, I'd consider it.

Extremely optimistic asking price. I imagine they are hoping the movie hype makes them rich. I see maybe $2-3 mil to the right buyer (movie star, etc) but no way is that worth the price of a mansion.

Combine Detective comics #27, Superman #1, Action Comics #1 and AF #15... (if any money left maybe an FF #1)

Money better spent...

I've met Rob, and I liked him. He seemed nice. However, as "art" goes, that piece looks like a sketch on a comic book backing board.

If I had 7.5 million, it wouldn't be spent on that. Kudos to whomever colored the cover.

I think the owner is "fishing" for that sale price, lol. Those who know who the owner is will catch the joke.
