I bought one of these Darkhawk shirts. I'm super impressed by the quality of the material and the print.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/362769226091

Pencils by Matt Dalton w/ colors by John Charles. I added the logos and tweaked it a little on photoshop 

Jim Lee attended last years Washington Summer con. His "VIP" CGC package handlers were Godfather's Comics. During his signing Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair were part of the package. You couldn't add any other signatures since Lee's handlers were just there for Jim Lee's "VIP" package. CGC wasn't there at that con, just another facilitator and they were not working together to add any other artists. Godfather comics took your books from you as soon as they were signed.  I wanted to add Chris Claremont to my books, but that wasn't allowed. Luckily I didn't have Claremont sign first with the other facilitator, cause then it wouldn't have been authenticated.

Idk how ECCC will handle this signing since CGC will be there, but the whole "Jim Lee experience" is pricey. That doesn't include grading btw, so you're looking at around $100 per book after grading. If you never met him before it might be worth it. The time you get to be in front of his is very limited. You are just prodded along the cattle line to speed things up. Just a quick signature and no sketch

He was actually super quick. Waited about a week for my turn, and he cranked it out in a couple days. I'm super impressed by his level of detail. I'm going to send him some comic blanks for a couple more pieces. I think he would kill Moon Knight, and thinking of him recreating Darkhawk #17 with Venom instead of the Russian Dude.

My latest commission by Mathew Dalton 

There's these boards from 1994 for $200

Does anyone know where I can buy some offical Marvel art boards? I have a couple of commissions planned, and would love the artist to use those boards.  The only place I saw them for sale was an old link from 2003 when Marvel made them available to the public.  I imagine published artists have easy access to them, but are they allowed to sell them?

I hear ya! Stuff like that really irks me too! Like really, everyone signed in gold (and I'm sure you asked for gold) and you couldn't follow suit?! Ugh. 

I did send a window bag/board along with the slab with the color written on it. Now to think of it I believe I had the cut out on the upper part of the book. Maybe the bag was thrown away when it was cracked out?

After a week in the mail I finally got my subs back.  Pretty happy with the grades I received.  2/8 Todd's. Sharpie preference was pretty much ignored, but they looked good except for my Image United multi sig. His lone black signature really stands out against the other gold ones. It's was an odd choice especially when he signed half my other books in gold. My OCD is wanting me to start over again.

An amazing 11x17 by Travis Mercer

Mike Manley reproduction, recently had Alex Sinclair color it

I'm loving my new sketch cover by Scott Williams

Who's brave enough to buy this and send it to CGC? I once thought I had a couple 9.9`s, but I sent them with a couple of cracked out 9.8's to get signed. The 9.8's came back as 9.6 , while the nicer ones came back as 9.8's.  Broke my heart.

Revat, your DH #21 reminded me i had this done a while back and dont think i ever posted it. If i go to ECCC this year I'll have someone color it. 

Finally got around to reading  DH #51......that new suit is fugly. Never been a fan of his his square shoulder pads, but these look ridiculous. 

Very nice Revat!

I'm still owed $250 and not a peep from him for over a year now.

I apologize in advance if there is a real obvious source for information on these. I tried doing a search for a thread on the boards but couldn't find anything. I found this on the web, but it was last updated almost 10 years ago.

Does anyone care about these anymore? Does anyone have a list of which issues have variants? I'd love to see a thread for these similar to the DCU logo thread.

 

That is the article I wrote on the 3 MVP sets for the STLcomics gallery way back when. These sets are near and dear to me and I have all 3 sets in Minty condition. They can be a pain to put together but luckily I grabbed 2 of them complete. I even have the JC Penney catalogs they were featured in. Here is a link to the original write-up via the Wayback Machine-

Question for you guys.

 

I just purchased a Marvel Milestone Edition: Amazing Spider-Man #1 thinking it was the JC Penney Vintage Pack reprint because it had the white Marvel logo (2nd picture). The original printing had the red Marvel logo (1st picture). But when I went back and checked, I noticed that the JC Penney Vintage Pack reprint has no border around the white Marvel logo whereas this one does. So what is the one I just bought? It has the newspaper type interior pages like the JC Penney version but the cover is glossy and darker gray.

 

 

That's the 3rd printing

Purchased a couple more slabs from Jason. Another trouble free transaction as always. Great packaging and fast shipping. Will definitely buy from him again.

Was M Night's The Visit any good?
