An original Frank Frazetta painting originally used as the cover to the Lancer paperback edition of Conan the Conqueror sold last week for $1,000,000.

I may not own a Frazetta painting, but I do have his autograph, as you can see below, obtained back in the early ’70s when I was an annoying kid with a sketchpad. The sheet below was signed either at the 1971 or 1972 July 4th weekend Phil Seuling Comic-Con. It couldn’t have been any earlier because I didn’t start doing this until after my first con, and it couldn’t have been later because Syd Shores passed away before the ’73 convention.

In addition to Shores and Frazetta, you can also see Bruce Jones, Harvey Kurtzman, Jeff Jones, John Putnam, and Jerry DeFuccio below

I know that without a painting attached, the Frazetta signature alone isn’t worth $1,000,000, so I’ll tell you what—feel free to knock off a zero. Heck, I’ll even knock off two.

So who wants to start the bidding?
