"For years, nobody wanted the originals. I’ve been around this business so long that I recall vividly, I was there when artwork in comic books was just tossed aside like garbage. But more than that, syndicate guys, guys like Hal Foster, who did Prince Valiant—if somebody wrote in and wanted a drawing, he’d send them a whole page! Now we’re talking about something that’s worth $50,000 or $60,000 that he just gave away!"...--... Joe Kubert
