I think I have a few Zap! and Leather Nun etc... The Zap! s are outta' this world in book value $400 and up but most of the Leather Nuns and Amputee Love and whatnots are fairly resonable still in the under $50 catagory -- I let you know when I dig Them Up, just have way too much filling up this house!!

Floyd - This is an excert from his bibliography from the site:

1993-94 - Art Studio moves to Los Angeles, California. Starts a new style called "Comic Book Pop Art". Uses original paintings of super heroes - Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, to name a few - as the icons. Hires more than 100 of Los Angeles' ex-gang kids from prison to assist him in the studio.

1995 - Works with Martin Lawrence Gallery. Hand paints new editions, giving new meaning to hand-embellishment. Creates limited editions of Beethoven, which sold out, and Marilyn Monroe, which broke all gallery sales records for a new artist. Creates portraits of Muhammad Ali and John Travolta, who autographed their editions. First artist to form a bridge between Marvel Comics (Spider-Man) and DC Comics (Superman). Works with Stan Lee, who autographed the edition.
Starts the following programs:

I would imagine this piece falls in that area and was probably sold through the Martin Lawrance Gallerys - Galleries tend too keep excellent records - They may be able to help you further with this as to when and were an HOW MUCHIt sold for - Good Luck

Yes, what kind of comics are considered to be underground comics? I'm not sure if I have any or not, but cannot check on it until I get back to Iowa either.
