Colicab Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Nice! While the stalk is amazing I feel like Fiona has had better days with drawing Lying cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzilla Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Wow, why does everything I want have to be so much money. Agreed on Lying Cat, but I'd still love to own that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicsnyc22 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) If you see Fiona at a con, she'll do one of these for a small donation to Hero Initiative. Mine was $20 and she nailed it. Or, you can pay that crazy dude $1,500! Edited December 11, 2013 by ComicsNYC22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingreed Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Just be careful where you get them. I am not calling crow on the Ebay listing, I am just making people aware of some past forgeries since the topic has been brought up. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/02/05/the-fiona-staples-sketch-forgeries/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzilla Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've also heard rumblings of this before. There have been some questionable ones on back covers that I'm not sure to chalk up to an off day or forgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Also, I'm not against Trades like you suggested. But Saga and EoW are the two moderns that I buy floppies of. I can't wait for the trades, because I like the story and I want to read it every month. That's like refusing to go the movies to watchThor or the next x-men, because it will come out on next flix eventually. Sure some people can do that, but other people want to experience it right when it releases. I'm one of those people. How old are you? Assuming you are under 30. ( I am 33) Just saying cause you are saying words like floppies. I thought you meant floppy disks when I first started using computers we had to save our computer work on them. Listen I know everyone should just collect what they enjoy of course. I am just too opinionated on owning comic books from 1990 to now and taking up space in one's home where most issues are not worth the cover price you just paid for them. Take WD for example. For me buying the trades in some form for all the issues just makes more economical sense instead of wasting money on every issue. Just invest in the keys or sought after issues and buy the remainder in trades. WD #1-9, 19, 27, prison arc, and call it a day. That just works for me. I'm 32.The word Floppies is part of vocabulary along with words like ratchet and twerkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta4 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've heard numerous people on these boards refer to individual issues as floppies. Just my 2 cents, but it doesn't seem strange to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuff Ghost Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 $1500 that's a bit crazy. Every time I've seen Fiona she's either done those sketches for free or for $20 dollar donation to Hero Initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta4 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) The term floppy has been widely used long before comics went digital. I believe it started around the introduction of the trade paperback. Edited December 11, 2013 by Meta4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bffnut Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The term floppy has been widely used long before comics went digital. I believe it started around the introduction of the trade paperback. A quick internet search reveals this article from 2003 entitled "The floppy comic book's time is past" and refers to individual issues as floppies. It makes the same argument people make about digital vs floppies, that the former is pushing out the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
