Did Miller sell this? Why wasn't it returned to him? I was under the impression artists had their art returned to them by 1984?

My guess is that Miller originally had this and sold it early on when art was not considered to be that valuable.Originally Posted by johnmiic
I bet if this showed up on Pawn Stars they'd offer $25 for it.
The Old Man and Big Hoss would, but Rick would say "This Frank Miller Dark Knight piece is AMAZING! If I can get it for the right price, I've gotta have it!"
Chumly would take box of Crayolas to it.

Here's what we were spared...
no joke. Gee I wonder why DC didn't greenlight this?

Frank and I were jazzed about working together again. We were up for doing another series and churning the waters on on some old DC character, as he’d done with Dark Knight.
Wonder Woman seemed like a pretty good choice. She been simultaneously revered and handled poorly in some incarnations. To me she’s always been a ‘”symbol” more than a character that has been well-utilized in a story context. The most interesting stuff was the earliest – and felt the ripest for revisiting.
The fact that her creator William Marston also created the precursor to the lie detector and was into bondage lent a weird kinky vibe and made the idea of mucking with her and her origin a potentially fun trip.
The image was done by me to visually test the water, so to speak and my own comfort level, if not everyone else’s, about how far it could be pushed. I did some others that were far more extreme, no one has seen those, this one was relatively tame by comparison. Still it was perhaps a bit over the top, but I think Frank and I invited that. So was the idea for the series in very basic broad stroke discussions between Frank and I , with some input from then-DC editor Bob Schreck.
