    Thanks! I've always loved his inking style.

    Classic Catwoman is my absolute favorite!! That's an amazing acquisition... that inking on the panther :o  The hard part is figuring out where to hang it I'm sure :)

    Re: JSC auction ... that was a cutthroat finish. I almost regretted the purchase when it came time to pay rent this month ... almost.

    Is she going to be there? I don't see her name on the list of special guests or Artist Alley.

    Hey there-- she emailed me asking me whether I could pick it up at WonderCon (apparently some of her pieces have been crushed in the mail), so I assume she's going to be there! Unless there's another WonderCon out there I'm not aware of, I guess :)

     

    EDIT: Just asked her over e-mail whether she's going herself or will be represented. Will update!

  3. For me, it's the matter of originality. I had a nice talk with Mick Gray about this at a signing. Apparently, someone had tried to convince Mick to ink over some pencils Jack Kirby had done. Mick, bless his soul, refused outright, asking him to at least consider scanning the pencils if he really wanted them inked (i.e. he'd ink over the scans, like a blueline). Well, the guy seemed to take it personally, and went off to find someone else to ink over them. Hopefully, nobody agreed.

    When it comes down to it, coloring over inks or inking over pencils might be more aesthetically pleasing to you, but that also eradicates any aesthetic value the piece had before the additions, not to mention the ability to look at the piece "before" it was colored ... especially if it's by someone like Jack Kirby. It's the same reason why people will still buy black and white versions of covers, even though a colored one exists.

  4. Heh, I want this and at least it's for a good cause. :angel:

     

    Wish I knew they were doing this variant. Would've preordered 5 copies. While I do have Mockingbird #8 (I seem to be one of the few who actually cared for that title), this homage is so much cooler. :)

    I'm sure this heated up a few folks ;) I'm on board, though. In for at least one.
