Sketches in Hardcovers - Anyone else collect these? 0

[wormboy]

Generally people who get sketches in books and also have them personalized/dedicated are the ones artists usually identify as fans who have bought their material and are less prone to be one of those "flippers" who are looking for adding value to something they plan to sell.

 

I agree. I've also found that if you bring a large book like an absolute or library edition, they will feel guilty that you lugged it all the way to the show and will be much more likely to do a sketch for you

Especially when they see the effort of getting multiple artists to sign. Also helps to put post it notes in the book if they want to flip through it or sign on the page when you run out of space.

Note if you get a lot of sketches put a piece of paper underneath the inner page to catch any ink bleed through

I'm having people sign their work it the Stan Sakai tribute book. It's fun to track everyone down. Most have been really glad to do it. Stan is well loved. No one has sketched in it though.

Killer book!

 

And useful tips, thanks.

Don't have any sketches in hardcovers, but I do have a Romita Sr. Sketch in an artist edition if that counts.

Awesome! That counts!

 

I remember seeing that and wanting one, but they were gone!

Man those are ridiculous. For me the Schulz Snoopy is a highlight.

I'd have a hard time choosing between the MJ and the Spidey.

[alxjhnsn]

I went for Mary Jane because John created her look. That makes the best match for my theme - artists and the characters I most associate with him.

[wormboy]

 

Sounds good to me.

 

I'd love to own either (or both!)

Beautiful headshot, and your right about him really making the look she's known for.

Nice, was that the one that came with the sketch? I remember hearing about it, but was too late.

Great choice. When I saw John Romita Sr. at WonderCon in 1999, he was seated at Literacy Volunteers of America and was doing headshots for $25. He had just done four or five Spider-Man's when I got to the front of the line and he asked me if I wanted one, too. When I requested Mary Jane, he said: "A man after my own heart." While he was drawing, I complimented him for helping the charity and he shrugged it off and said he was just showing off.

 

Mary Jane Watson by John Romita Sr.

 

Best,
