This morning I was pleased to be notified that I had won an auction for a 2004 24x65 inch poster of DC Comic's Justice League by artist Alex Ross, in Very Fine+ condition.
Ross' painterly approach and use of live reference models gives his comic book work a unique style (recommended reading would be his four-issue Kingdom Come DC miniseries from 1996), and as such I was surprised to win the auction for only $12 USD.* I suspect that it was just a case of misplaced filing- if it had been listed in a comic book auction instead of as part of Heritage Auctions' weekly Sunday movie posters session, it might have gotten more attention.
Regardless, their loss, my gain - now, if only I had enough wall space to hang my new treasure...

* As with previous postings about auction purchases, the price is a bit of a lie, there's a $29 USD auction fee on top of the actual bid. Still, an unexpectedly low winning bid.
