Thank you for the comments.   It was very disappointing.   I had issues with Al before this.   I used to buy works directly from him and spent a lot of money.  The pieces I've listed here are the tip of the iceberg.   I have numerious other pieces that I purchased from him, spending a ton of money.    He always too a long while to deliver the pieces.  But the last time, it kept my money for over a year and a half and kept delaying the delivery of the painting.   After all that time, he reneged on the deal and told me he's changed his mind about selling the piece.   And even after that, it took another few months for him to refund the funds he held for over 18 months.    But I still purchased his work from others, because I loved his work so much.  This was the final straw.    He's just not a good person.   Everyone who has ever dealth with him has fallen out with thim.   I don't know the dealer, but she claimed she was unaware this was a replica.    But even after I made her aware, she didn't take down the piece or mention anything in the listing.   So as far as I'm concerned, she was complicit.   I'm sorry you had issues with her.   I'm glad you got a refund.    Comic art collecting can be so rewarding, both financially and as a hobby.    Don't let some bad eggs ruin it for you.   I hope you continue to enjoy this hobby.
