Mignola: a very nice 1994 Hellboy sketch was sold for a $1,8k Best Offer, very good deal compared to another HB sketch sold for $1,7k.
Neal Adams: you probably know that eBay has been flooded with Neal Adams original art and sketches, many are rushing to buy one at unimaginable prices (until a month ago).
