Gene Colan Estate Sale

It's been six months since Gene left us. Sadly, his son cannot afford to hang on to the art he inherited. As such, he's asked me to represent the giant Iron Man #1 cover recreation you see pictured. Gene did this piece a decade ago and it's genuinely a one-of-a-kind. I am taking bids at my Facebook page. If interested, please post your bid for all to see. If your bid is accepted, your transaction will be with Gene's son.
