First Deadpool Preliminary Cover Art Up For Auction

Does anybody have an extra $18,300 lying around?

With Deadpool already breaking box office records and guaranteed Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, everything with Marvel’s Merc With A Mouth’s face on it is selling like never before.

So, obviously, anything related with his first appearance is skyrocketing, but how about this piece? It’s a prelim sketch of the cover of New Mutants #98, Deadpool’s first appearance. It’s signed at the bottom of the page by Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld and dated from 1991.

It’s currently listed for over $18,000 with no bids, but several people watching. Liefeld even tweeted out that he wanted to buy it back early Friday morning.

So, Deadpool fans, what do you think of this treasure?
