2000AD prog 14 - Flesh! cover up for sale

I've spotted that one of the very earliest 2000AD cover is currently up for sale right here on ebay. It;s the cover for prog 14 (issue cover dated 28th May 1977).

The opening bid was £1,000 and as I type this there have been two bids and the price has been bid up to £1,020

Cover art is by Barrie Mitchell 

Here's what the cover looked like when it was published...
