Batman Artwork Sells for HOW MUCH?!?!!

Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" is a comic book landmark.  Look up a list of the top Batman comics, and it will be there every time.  Yeah, it may have taken the grimdarkness of the character to new levels, but it's still regarded as legendary.  And hey, they're selling off some of the original artwork!  Pretty cool, right?  You can own a piece of this momentous comic for the price of...

Oh.

Oh Dear God.

Four.  Hundred.  Thousand.  Dollars.

Take a minute to dwell on that.  One piece of artwork.  Action Comics #1, a full comic, will only occasionally sell for a $1,000,000.  Well, I hope it's that classic cover of Batman with the bolt lightening flashing behind him, and image so iconic it's been utilized by almost every character since.  Well no, it's this.

  
Dammit.
