ADAM HUGHES commission prices have gone up!

[John E.]

I wanna say $300-$500 each.

 

Thanks! That's helpful!

I believe they were more towards the $500 to $700 range. At least the pages that I saw. There may have been some cheaper but they were long gone before I got to Adam's table.

Yeah - I think they were mostly on the 500 - 700 with the two page spreads being like 1500. The Barb Wire, Fairest, and Betty/Veronica covers were in the 6000 range I believe. I could be wrong though because I'm not really that into the Archie world that I considered buying them.

 

I went there early on Thursday and I think only like 1 or 2 pages sold before I got there. The next day most were gone.

This is good to know. Thanks for sharing. $500-$700 sounds like a deal for a published page compared to a single-figure commission, especially if you scored a nice Betty & Veronica panel. But for a budget collector, that price is still a bit high.

Allison and Adam priced the Archie pages based on content-obviously those featuring Betty and Veronica went higher- and the low end was 300 but the higher end went higher than 700. A couple of those higher end pages didn't make it to SD or NYC because they stayed here in Atlanta....

 

I thought they were well priced. No, Archie isn't Marvel or DC, but I think the characters are pretty iconic and Adam is writing, pencilling, inking, lettering and coloring the whole book-so you don't get much more pure than that. The art is on thin paper and that is the only thing I was concerned about, but I can say that they frame up well and they are all on 13x19 paper rather than typical modern 11x17 for those who think size matters

At NYCC 2016, a few of his Betty/Veronica interior pages sold for $2,500. The art was beautiful. The paper was a light brownish color and slightly thinner than typical comic art bristol.

 

Cheers!
