that piece is not worth the price that seller is probably looking for. if i'm paying anything over a $1000 the least i expect is to the see the character i'm paying for real well.just my opinion.

Hi MasterROA,

Go here to find Dell'Otto artwork for sale, although the pricing isn't for the faint of heart

Best,

Gadzooks! Awesome stuff, but the prices bring a tear to your eye. The pricing is strange too. $2500 for that pretty ordinary Secret War page, but $2100 for that cover down there. I guess I'm out of the Dell'otto hunt LOL. Yeesh.

While I find Dell'Otto's work attractive, I can't justify even considering paying those prices for his work (if I could afford to of course ) More power to those who can afford it and who adore his work.

I also can't help but feel (personal opinion only) that I would be more comfortable about the pricing if Dell'Otto had built up a long-term reputation in the industry but he's still relatively "new". Obviously, he's taking advantage of his current popularity and I the demand is there. Best,

Royd

Hey Mitch, I might have a look out of curiousity but I'm guessing that the pricing will be similar to Manrico's and waaaaay out of my range. No harm in "window shopping" though Best,

LOL..you kidding, sometimes I think this hobby is nothing but window shopping. Actually buying something is so rare for me, that I sometimes wonder why I bother. I know you're in the same boat too

He's one artist I really wish would do some Giclees and Lithos.

There was a Doctor Strange he did that was phenomenal. I'd put that on my wall in a heartbeat.
