Last night, around midnight, the final week of the Siegel and Shuster Society charity auctions wrapped up, and I finally got one! This Rags Morales page from Nightwing # 140, showing a magnificent Man of Steel towering above the grown-up Robin should soon be in my hands, for a "paltry" $510 US. (Remember: it's for a good cause!) I would have loved to get the George Perez page last night (showing Captain America facing off against Batman) but it went for over $1000. The walk-on cameo role on Heroes ended up costing somebody over $14,000, and apparently it was the same guy who paid a similar price for the Jim Lee sketch of himself with Superman. Therefore one person will have contributed over $28,000 of the nearly $120,000 that the four weeks of auctions raised. That's quite the super-fan!

Matty - who is the artist?
ReplyDeleteI've added the artist's name - Rags Morales, he of Identity Crisis and Black Condor fame, among other series he's worked on - into the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out that I'm omitted it, Tim.
