Great episode Rob.
Original art is a fun hobby. Holding an original page that the creators themselves worked on is pretty damn cool. I was fortunate to get a few pieces from my childhood reading days and have them proudly hanging on my walls. The prices have gotten insane in the last 10-15 years, so I’ll happily hold on to the small collection I have and sit back and watch others spend the big bucks.
Never knew about the 30-70 split with the inker. Austin sure is sitting on a gold mine. I hope he does get a little money out of it for himself and donates the rest to a museum.
Somebody donated the art to Amazing Fantasy #15 several years ago. https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0805/spiderman.html
Here’s a cool Frank Miller related tweet.
