Before Deadpool broke box office records, he was first introduced to audiences in New Mutants No. 98. The original cover art, penned by legendary artist Rob Leifeld, is going to auction with a chance to break another record — if it meets the $7.5 million estimate. New Mutants No. 98 debuted in December 1990. Along with Leifeld’s incredible art, Deadpool and new characters like Cable and Domino saved the New Mutants series and helped lead to Marvel’s second golden age in the ’90s. The current owner of the art purchased it nearly 20 years ago, and with Deadpool fandom reaching a fevered pitch, decided the time was right to sell.
