I've done the $100 tier for Jeremy Bastian for a few years now.  I had the opportunity presented within 5 minutes of posting about supporting artists, so I listened to the universe.  I got some really, really great reward art monthly (my fave 2 ok 3 posted), a print or bookmark and the like monthly, etc.  I have for the last year just had him hold the reward ink work that arrived monthly (I miss them horribly however) in lieu of a future art consideration from a certain amazing series he does.  Dude rules.  His posts on P are fairly regular as well.

 

 

I got a sweet Swamp Thing from JB's patreon

One thing I've wondered about is whether or not the original art for those Chick Tracts is something people collect- would there even be a market for that? Part of me thinks they could be highly sought after, and part of me thinks they would be worth very little. Anyone ever heard anything?

That's actually a really thin market.

(In part due to sticker shock I'm sure.)

 

Will that market (200ish?) continue to expand, stagnate, or contract over time? At this and higher price levels?

That's also 200 requests, not 200 people. Who knows how many of those were the same people making multiple requests for pages

For some reason, seeing the word "rare" in the selling description is a minor turn off for me. Like of course it's rare, there's only one. It makes me mildly distrustful.

These are great. What will your book be called?

Thank you! It's called "All The Past We Leave Behind"

I would choose the Spidey panel page, personally, I get the most enjoyment from it of the three

I'm 38 and new to the hobby, might be a little older than you're looking for but hi!

I am insanely jealous, those are beautiful!

could you elaborate on the ways to avoid the government piece?

I think, hypothetically, a dealer could accept an all-cash transaction and report it as having sold for whatever they want to say it sold for, or even not report the sale at all. This is of course purely in the realm of the theoretical and not something anyone would dream of actually doing.

Well, then, how do you see this? I was told that a cover I liked was available. The artist did a rough, which was approved, but then completed the published artwork digitally due to time constraints. Afterwards, the rough was finished to match the printed cover.

It's being sold as the original cover art. Yes or no? I haven't yet pulled the trigger.

Is the artist making it clear in the general selling of the cover that it isn't actually the original cover art, or is he marketing it purely as the "original cover art?" The latter seems kind of fraudulent imo

I paid $70 for this Red Tornado page a few months ago, drawn by Jose Luis & J.P. Mayer. I just think it's a fun page (even if it was creased during shipping).

I mostly read digitally on a tablet, but some titles I've been enjoying lately are more recent ASM and the rebirth Nightwing, both of which I recommend. I also enjoyed Red Hood and the Outlaws up until issue 18 or 19, but after that I thought it kind of fell apart.

Just arrived, Spawn 290 p19 by Jason Shawn Alexander

I like this cover by Ian Churchill for Comic Box magazine, I've posted it elsewhere here but it was $320.00 and worth every penny

I'm not seeing that at all.  I see the streets barely populated, people keeping a distance and wearing masks and gloves.  Looking out my window for a while now, I only saw 2 people go by, both wearing masks, one obviously coming back from a grocery store and the other one a delivery person of some type. 

Even the doorman of my apartment building is now physically walled off from the public and people in the building seem frightened to be around people.  At least twice in the past day I've seen people consciously divert and decide to take the stairs instead of sharing an elevator with me.  Sheesh.  

I'm glad to hear that people where you are are being so careful, even if it might be excessive. In beautiful Bedford-Stuyvesant that degree of caution has yet to set in, though I do see more people being careful than I did a week ago.

I hope the sense of denial isn't as strong in the rest of the American population.  This is shocking and scary.

I live in NYC and it's ridiculous how many people are out just walking around, hanging out with others in public, acting like nothing's going on.
