Description

There is a story with this one:

So I bought this one from a Wizard World Con in Richmond, VA back in 2014. I did not plan to buy this, it kind of happened by accident. The con it self was a dud, most wizard world cons were generally pretty lackluster. Neal Adams might have been one the one highlight of the creators in attendance. My friend and I were walking around his table, mostly looking at prints. I looked up from the table with all the prints to the back wall of his booth where he had originals. Talking with my friend I said "Geez none of those have prices. I wonder how much something like that one would cost?" What I didn't realize is that I had walked close enough to Neal that he could hear from where he was signing someone's books.
Neal: "Well, How much you got?"
Me: "What?"
Neal: "How much do you have? We are going to haggle."
Me: "..."
Neal: "Ordinarily this Piece would be $$$"
Me: "...I only have $"
Neal: "Well, then it going to cost you $"
I look to my friend and he has backed up across the aisle is half laughing at me. I falter for a minute thinking this would completely clean me out. I double count my money and come to the conclusion that I wouldn't even be able to afford lunch if I made the purchase. I half walk away from his table, saying I would think about if he would just give me a minute. Spoke to my friend, trying to get reassurance this was a good idea... though I already knew I going to go back and purchase it. I get in line to get up to Neal. At this point his handler (wife? daughter? I can't remember.) who had been absent in our original conversation had returned. I get back to him and indicate that if he was still willing to sell it for $, that I would buy it. His handler was not pleased that he was selling it to me for this price, but I ended up with it anyway.

My best memory from that con and still one my favorite con stories.

Great story and wise choice. Neal's birthday is next Saturday and any story of him reminds us of the man and how he did things his way.
