  1. I got the chance to meet Kevin Eastman at the new Orleans Comic-con last weekend. I walked up and asked if he had any art pages with him and he handed me his book. Thanks to Andy Kuhn for letting me use his table so I didnt hold up the line. Kevin had some really nice pages but I was really blown away bythe prices. I asked about this page and he said it was a variant cover for the new Turtles title "Secret history of the Foot Clan" I havent seen the whole cover published yet but the cover to issue #1 Hastings variant has a part of the pencils on it. Either way I really like this cover.

    here is a link to my entire haul from the show

     

    New Orleans 2012

  2. I am a collector...not a speculator. I was lucky enough to buy two pages right before the big boom in the market. I was lucky enough to get the double page spread of Carl getting shot and a page from the action that followed with both Rick and Michone killing zombies. I honostly didnt know the size of the pages until I opened the package and had to do a double take. Had I known the size it still wouldnt have had any impact on my decision to buy the pages. I have had several really tempting offers for the pages...mainly for the Carl pages. But since I bought the pages for my collection not for resale I politely declined. I do feel that once the show ends those offeres will be much lower. I dont feel that the bottom will drop out but it will be more of a realignment of the prices people will be willing to pay.

  3. I still have my entire Walking Dead run ready for CGC but I really want to get them signed first....so I'm really hoping Kirkman would make the trip to the new Orleans Wizard show. The last Wizard show down here had the kid who played Carl on the show and I really wanted him to sign and maybe pose with the pages I have from the book with Carl getting shot but the pages didnt get here in time.

  4. I missed out on Chew. Now i'm trying to play catch up. Looking for a Chew #1 first print. Doesnt have to be perfect since its never going to be sold or graded. Just looking for my personal collection. I sent a PM to the ever powerful Branget if he had any to spare to a fellow boardie but I guess when your as omnipotent as him it is easy to overlook the little guys....lol

  5. The splatter is heavier on the wound side then on the right side...nice effect. I wasnt sure how it would turn out at first and you should have seen the face of the framer when I told them what I wanted.....It was the first comic art they had ever done and didnt even know what the Walking Dead was....lol.

  6. I don't understand:........ Why doesn't the show follow the book more closely? Kirkman got the book right.....its one of the most addictive reads ever and was good enough to spawn the show. Why change it so much? They always do that to comic book related movies and shows? There is a reason they are popular and have a following. It doesn't make sense to mess with something that is already good. The changes never make it better.
