GL/GA #76 – Original Cover auction at Heritage
http://comics.ha.com/itm/original-co...umbnail-071515
Neal Adams Green Lantern #76 Cover Green Arrow Original Art (DC, 1970). One of the most "Key" of all key Bronze Age books! The effect that Neal Adams had on the comic industry as it transitioned from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age was enormous. Every character he touched, even just on the covers (such as Superman and Superboy) were reinvigorated, and this is without a doubt the most memorable and important cover the great artist ever crafted... ushering in the Bronze Age and an entirely new approach to socially relevant comics storytelling.

Have to hope it fetches more than the staggering sums DKR made a few years ago...

While it is an iconic cover by a legendary artist, the buyer is banking on Green Arrow and Green Lantern remaining popular for years. I get the feeling that Green Arrow becomes a less bankable character once the show ends its run.

Your probably right. To me it's all about the artist and his work. I would rather own one of his vintage Conan art than GL/GA any day. Though, I wouldn't mind owning that particular cover. His work on Conan is way better.

edit: and just to add, this thing will end up selling for way more than 200k. I'd be surprised if it didn't hit at least 500k.

I think it's less about Green Lantern and Green Arrow the characters remaining popular, and more about whether Neal Adams and that particular run of comics remains popular. Neal Adams is a bonafide legend and that cover is probably his signature piece. At the very least it's his signature non-Batman piece. As long as people care about Neal Adams, that cover will retain it's value. The show is irrelevant. The people who watch Arrow on the CW are not the people shelling out 200k for a cover like that.
