If Moses had a choice between this DKR splash and the two tablets, I say he’d choose this!

 When I saw your comment I thought to myself-gee, I should look at the inflation adjusted cost that I paid for this piece back in 1987. I honestly thought it would be a lot more-but in retropect it still wasn't a lot-though at the time it seemed like an enormous amount. For comparison, it  was only two thirds of what I paid for a Hal Foster Prince Valiant the same year, but more than twice what I paid for a twice up Kirby Thor splash-and if you add all three pieces up, in todays dollars, it  still wouldnt be enough to buy a single good example by any of the three of them!

Benno! When I saw your name pop up with something new, I was stoked to see what you were bringing to the table. I was NOT disappointed, even if it's something you've owned for a bunch of years. Hope you're well, sir.
