My original art holy grail
Say what you want about Frank Miller, but this image is emblazoned on my mind and was a seminal turning point for my relationship with comics back in the 80s. It is arguably one of the greatest story arcs in superhero comics, and is certainly a favorite among folks not just of my age, but also my teenage kids. I'd love to own a Robert Crumb, or some other seminal artists, but this is probably the Frank Miller piece I would want to see on my wall.

That is indeed a grail fo sho!! Maybe if I empty all my saving and retirement accounts and sell a kidney and all the comics and art I've ever collected and combine it with your money, we might get the fourth highest bid? Maybe... you think?

Mid-80s is peak for Frank. The later Sin City stories can get a bit too blocky for me. I still love it, but mid 80s and early Sin City Frank is genius level.
