Captain America #241 Cover At Heritage in September


Frank Miller and Bob McLeod Captain America #241 Punisher Cover | LotID #26002 | Heritage Auctions

This was, at one point, a really nuclear hot book. Miller + the Punisher in the 1980s/early 1990s was like catnip for collectors. I still have a soft spot for this book and love the image. It's sort of a "clean" version of Miller because of the McLeod inks, but is iconic in any case.

I'm out of the loop enough to not really know how I feel about this result, but it's still a new record. I'm diving back in slowly to update my data so we'll have a couple of years of data up on the site over the next month or so, including this new record.

I'm NOT out of the loop so much that I'm not incredibly impressed by the quality of this auction at the top end.

Is this thing on?

Hi all, sorry I've been off the grid for a while, but life got in the way for a while. It's all good (actually great,) but 2022 was a pretty big time suck for me.

I'm hoping to catch back up with posting here, my data projects and some other things over the next few months. Keep your eyes on this space!
