Half a million?!

I love Miller's art and TDKR is my favorite Batman story, but that's a little too much for a splash page.

 

[Ponyboy]

Yeah that's insanity. I could possibly see it if it were say... the cover to one of the issues...

I'd feel like a chump for paying that much. That's a ridiculous amount of money.
It wasn't Frank Miller who was selling it at Heritage Auctions, it was a collector who had purchased it back in the 1980s. "This gem has been locked away in a single collection since being purchased upon the series’ original publication."

Frank Miller donates his work to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
"They did a lightning quick auction of items donated by Miller to help benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. A script to All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder from Frank's personal files, signed by the man himself, went for a cool $175. A copy of the comic adaptation of Miller's original script for RoboCop 2 went for only $30, but a slightly dog eared copy of Spawn/Batman went for $75, and a sealed and graded copy of All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder #1, signed by Miller and artist Jim Lee, went for $175, bringing the auction to total to more than $400 dollars. Not bad for less than five minutes of auctioning."

Wow, that is stupid money.

And what is so special about the Spawn/Batman crossover? 75$ for a dog ear copy? I think i might even have a copy of that somewhere!

I wouldn't buy a dog ear copy, especially not for $75!
