    This is my wonderful haul from Emerald City CC. Jaime and Gilberto Hernandez were pioneers in the Small Press Movement of the early "80's. Their Love and Rockets (1981) edition is iconic. Here is a less frequently seen 2nd printing from 1982 with a really nice remark from Jaime Hernandez . Thank you to Rich Henn for the logistics (leg work!). If you are there, please visit Jaime's table and check things out... I envy you.

    Wow! Scrolling through many of the books and sketches in this thread was a treat. My Hughes collection is only in it's infancy, but here are two of my favorites:

    A big thank you to TheRealVenom for this Adam Hughes Sketch cover. I know that I saw this one on Adam's table at Fan Expo Toronto last year and am proud to add this to my sketch cover collection.

    If anyone is at this con and can post some pictures, many of us would love to see them. Also, if anyone can get a photo of Jaime Hernandez' table.... I would love to see it. I am a big Los Bros Hernandez fan. Thanks!!

    Once the artist finishes the cover, you can either have them send the raw completed cover to you or you can have it graded. Many artists use one particular person to facilitate grading. The artist sends directly to the facilitator who vouches for the authenticity, fills out the Signature series paperwork and submits it to the grading company under their account for grading. The grading company will then send the book directly to you when slabbed. As far as cost, the facilitator with grading and shipping typically adds around $60 to the sketch cover cost. I'm sure a bit more for international shipping.

    For Frank and Natali, you can contact them directly via their Facebook pages. They will then send the covers to their own facilitator for you to be graded.

    Whoever bought these covers will be thrilled with the results. I would have loved to do another but...some bills to pay. If you are on the fence on colors.. Steve Lydic does some pretty amazing work! Well worth the added costs!

    Any availability for Bruce Timm and Paul Dini?

    Here is how this one ultimately graded out. The combination of Jeff's inks and Steve's colors are absolutely incredible!

    I have not heard of Paradise Comics. I see that they are located in Toronto, but when I visit their FB page and click their web link, I get the message that "this account has been suspended". I'm not sure that I have seen that before.

    Two of these came in this week. I am really looking forward to Jaime Hernandez at Emerald City. Two of the 1982 copies are first printings and one is a second I also managed to find a wonderful Beto Luba sketch.

    I have wanted to upgrade from my 9.6 copy of this first printing for some time (only 800 copies made in 1981), but the sale prices were higher than I was willing to go. So when I saw this really nice raw copy online, I decided to give it a shot. This cover from Los Bros Hernandez represents one of the first Indy/Alternative comics of the early 80's and will be a very welcome addition to my collection.
