    1. I think that sign is actually behind the person next to Miller, who I’m betting is John Byrne (partially based on the willingness to only draw Kitty)

      1. I’m no expert on the art market, but I was going to say $20 seems like a bargain for a Miller. Byrne, I figure, was probably even hotter at the time?
