Damn you Euro's and you getting all the recalled comics.
I kind of want to try and get my hands on the Elseworlds 80 Page Giant, LoEG 5 Marvel Douche issue, and Universe X Spidey Bob Harras slur issues, but they all were shipped to Europe and really hard to find here. The only places selling them have them for at least $100 bucks over what they're worth.

"French is like anal, exotic but oh so unnecessary."
They are also about $200 comics, so, yeah. If you do ever see one though, let me know, I'd be curious what they were selling for.XIII wrote:I will try to see if I can find it here but that very unlikely. There's no trip to Paris planned for me and I don't think they will have that at my shop here in Lyon.

Toronto Fan Expo!
Went for a few hours Friday, it was surprisingly big. Marvel and DC both had a booth set-up.
I didn’t but a whole lot just True Blood Con Variant Swamp Thing 21, 23, 37 and the recalled Elseworlds 80 Page Giant. I also raided the dollar bins for stuff to get signed in NYC.
I got this stuff signed:
Marvel Milestones: Uncanny X-Men 1 1 Personally Signed by Stan Lee
Midnight Nation 1 Signed by Gary Frank - B Cover
Venom: Tooth and Claw 1 Signed by Joe St. Pierre
Nemesis 1 Personally Signed by Steve McNiven
Runaways Vol 1 6 Personally Signed by Alphona
All in all good show, except for the cluster fuck of them always going over capacity and having to stop letting people in.
I was only on the floor for about 3 hours when the show was actually open to the public though.

I did, too, until I searched Gary Frank.jedispyder wrote:Man, I forgot all about Midnight Nation. That was a damn good story.
I need to go back and re-read it.
It's funny though, I've been to three shows where JMS was supposed to come, and he cancelled all of them.

The one in the middle is robertson again. It is an unpublished boys cover of butcher. It was expensive.
$80 for spider, 150 for the tim sale spider-man (he was a flat rate for everything) and more than those combined for the blue line boys cover.
I thought 80 bucks for that spider Jerusalem was unbelievable. I thought I'd be getting a head shot. Darick Robertson was the best I've seen for sketches so far. He'll do a pencil sketch for minimum $40 (which were still good) and for whatever more you want to pay, he'll do that much for detail.
So that spider was $60, then I remembered to ask whether it was pencil or ink, and he said pencil, but for another 20 he'd go over it in ink. Great guy.

40-60 for a headshot that is about 8 by 8, like my darwyn cooke one that I posted last year.MGM wrote:So eh... what's about a fair price for a sketch?
150-200 for a full body like that spider one.
Free for a little headshot, maybe 2 by 2, not much more than a doodle, which is what arn has in his book. Although some of them give awesome little sketches for free, just depends when you catch them.

I did get some awesome sketches for free, though.
