True, . We got to spend quite a bit of time with him as the con was in its first year an relatively remote. I can't see that ahppening again ;) I don't think it's unusual for signings at conventions and bookstores to take more than a couple of hours over here because there generally won't be any complex sketches going on, mostly remarks and sigs and let's face it the UK is a lot smaller. Was the same for Kevin O'Neill signing at Gosh comics in London last weekend.

 

Not to say that massive lines don't happen over here. Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore (and I would imagine if George R R Martin was touring), etc are huge draws which is probably in part why they aren't that available.

 

There's not a chance in hell that C A remembers me with the amount of cons he has been doing since then, it must be quite a blur and he does try and cater for everyone in the line. It's exactly what you make of it, you queue, you hopefully have fun and you get some stuff signed / sketched. As mentioned before he is a really nice guy. He will be at 3 cons I am at this year and I am hoping he will be doing another "...watch him draw" Q&A event.

At NYCC in 2008, I decided to get Tony and Charlie to draw their zombies side-by-side on 11X17 board. Tony went first and then Charlie. I loved their zombies, but the piece needed something to tie it all together. So I asked Eric Powell to sketch the Goon in between. Here's the result:

Tony was $100, Charlie was $100 (originally $50...when he got done drawing, Mark raised it to $100...I wasn't in a great position to negotiate at that point, lol!), Eric was FREE. Tony's sketch list was much tougher to get on than Charlie's, which was fairly wide open. Charlie was doing 9"X12" sketches that were GREAT. Fully finished and filled up the whole page. A great deal for $50.

 

It was also at this show that I had a chance to buy the page with Carl shooting Shane from Tony. I ended up not buying it because I thought the price was too high...$1000!! He had TWO portfolios filled with his WD art. That was the last time I saw him have that much (or any, actually) of his WD art for sale at a show.

 

 

:applause:

 

I remember when you had that done, I was behind you for Tony, and I got one from Charlie as well:

 

 

$100 and $50 :whee:

I remember going through 2 fedex boxes full of Tony's WD pages (in the days before he even had a portfolio) and passing on that same page for $200ish. Of course, that issue had just come out at the time, so the price probably seemed even more nuts than $1K in 2008, especially since covers were in the $400-600 range. lol

 

Nice sketch jam, BTW!

:preach: I remember when common pages were going for $600. Now look at them....you can get one for 50 bucks. hm Oh wait a minute I have to wait 5 more year before I say that .

 

Maybe $150. I doubt you'll ever see many go as low as $50 again.

Did Kirkman keep all the OA variant covers for issue #115?

 

:popcorn:

 

Yes. Charlie finally got his 3 foot tall custom lego mecha godzilla as payment two weeks ago ;) Apparently it is to scale with lego minifigs.
