Okay, so they are selling off original artwork from JLAvengers #1 over at the Artist's Choice website. Now, I love George Perez... really. However one two-page spread is already up to $5000. Now, maybe I'm just cheap, but doesn't that seem just the tiniest bit excessive? I mean, you could almost buy a new car for that (well, if you drive a Metro like I do )
Granted, it's a pretty picture, but still...

It's only excessive if it doesn't sell. I can only agree that it's too much money for me, also. They're putting a premium on the significance of the book as well as the artist responsible. Otherwise, all of Perez's recent CrossGen work would be listed in that range, also. SOME sap with too much money and too little brain (McFarlane and baseballs, anybody?? HELLO?? ) will probably snap it up...

i looked at some of the OLIVIER COIPEL ... LEGION pages a while back, that i wanted to get, but i thought they were quite a lot !!!
plus the fact the site doesn't accept PAYPAL payments, and i would have to have a cheque made up into US funds, which costs around $10 before i actually pay for the piece and then add on the shipping !!!
they were jsut too costly .....

Well, I just hope the person who shelled out that much did it because they really loved the art rather than simply thinks of it as an investment.
