DISCLAIMER: All books will be handled with care but no grade is guaranteed. Previous grades cannot be guaranteed and while I am happy to crack slabs this provides even more opportunity for damage to the book and I cannot be held responsible for damage during the slab cracking process. It can be attested however that my slab cracking skills are very good.

I will be taking a couple sketch requests as per usual for Humberto Ramos and Francisco Herrera. These slots are limited and are on a first come first served basis.

[Menace]

I will also be accepting sketch requests for a pre-show sketch list for one of my artists Val Mayerik the creator of Howard the Duck and former Marvel artist.

 

Here are a few of the examples from his previous work for boardies.
