I guess the issue is none of them are purely comic art. Maybe the "non-comic frazetta paintings" s/b expanded to include other comic artists "non-comic" paintings. No reason to include fraz and exclude barks I suppose

3 million dollars in the last two years plus from kirby cofer collection of barks paintings, I cannot recall any original art collection bring that kind of money, especially in this tough times
Some big results for the OA. Check out the estimates. Six figure results (which would make the "biggest price" list for us) seem to be so routine over there, that they rarely get reported unless a record is set. Of course, nothing compared to more classical art, but still notable for comic art. Their market seems to be doing OK...let's see what happens in 2012.

My CAF gallery (please check out my wantlist!):
Quite a few large sales in this Tintin auction, as well as the Peyo auction a few months ago. For this kind of list, we would almost need a separate category for the European comic art.
