Ray Bradbury’s odd collection of sci-fi art, books, and other memorabilia was auctioned off last week for $493,408.

Bradbury, best known for his dystopian novels, Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Martian Chronicles, died in 2012 at age 91. He is credited with having revolutionized science fiction, and was hailed by English novelist Christopher Isherwood for being “truly original…a very great and unusual talent.”

The biggest-ticket item among the memorabilia was the original painting for the cover of Bradbury’s book The Illustrated Man, by Dean Ellis, which went for $45,894. Also, a brick from Edgar Allan Poe’s residence in Greenwich Village, Manhattan and salvaged by the Mystery Writers of America, sold for $4,230.

Check out photographs of the items sold, and consider reading this fabulous interview with Bradbury at the Paris Review.
