the authority Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Keeping this thread aligned with East of West... I was lucky enough to meet Giancarlo Esposito at a con last month and get this EoW #4 blank with his famous Gus Fring quote Before you ask, yes I am Mexican, a Mexican who collects comic books is unheard of!! Here is the verbiage from the cover... "What does a man do Walter? A man provides for his family. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he's a man." Giancarlo really liked the comment request from me and we were speaking in Spanish!! Really awesome, quiet man. R_H Epic Epic pretty much sums it up. The wife and I watch him in a show called Revolution every week. He is awesome as Tom Neville. That show frequently borrows from the pages of TWD imo but who cares, great show and great actor. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revival_Hoarder Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 @ The Authority, My wife and I also watched Revolution and we love that show as well! Giancarlo and I were talking about Revolution and BB. He asked, "Why this comic?" My response: The best comic book, the best quote from the best show on television - Breaking Bad." @ TBP, Yup! Expensive on the BVG 10! Glad you liked the book with Giancarlo's quote @ Nigel, He was at the Las Vegas Comic Expo back in September, so you are okay. Thanks for the comments guys. I wanted to combine my favorite book with my favorite show. I have many things that I have yet to display on these forums R_H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta4 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Don't take this the wrong way, but I never understood why someone would want a signature on a book of a person who had nothing to do with it. I saw a few sketch covers in sales threads of DC charecters on marvel books, etc. doesnt it defeat the purpose of having a signature if the person doesn't even know the book, let alone had no hand in creating it? To each their own, and I support anyone who's personal collecting style makes them happy, I just cant seem to wrap my mind around it...l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance take a look at this book I had George Perez sketch for me last MegaCon. I thought it would be neat to have Thanos tell the X-men they were next in his sights since you never see Thanos battle them directly like he did against to many other super heroes.

To each their own, and I support anyone who's personal collecting style makes them happy, I just cant seem to wrap my mind around it...l I can understand getting an artist unconnected with a book draw eg Batman on a Batman book. I also saw a cool Spider-man blank that had the "man" scored out and "Jerusalem" written instead and obviously a sketch of Spider Jerusalem on it. I really liked that cos it was clever. I have no understanding of a Breaking Bad quote on an EoW comic though. No offence to R_H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
