Secret Wars blew my mind as did the day Albert Moy decided to break this out. It was a small fortune then, and of course, it seems like nothing today.

My sympathies go out to you Albert. We all have had those pieces, those days, that if we could go back we would do everything different. However, I believe I know someone who always says..."There will always be more art." ;0) Oh yeah, congratulations on this most amazing piece David. Just incredible!!! :)

How do you think I feel about my trading this cover to you, Albert? But at least I still think I got the better of that trade, since I received only 5 or 6 comments on this same piece during the 3 or 4 years I had it posted on CAF -- go figure!
