Here is one from a children's book called The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman. He even provided a sketch for my daughter:

Redskins team autograph ball from 83-84 season. That's Theismanns' sig in the photo center. Too bad they lost the XVIII bowl.

Sweet topic!

 

Gave me a chance to go through some stuff!

 

I think I've had Romita SR sign just about every Amazing Spider-Man, up to about 150. I've let a few go over the years, but I still have a lot. He has ALWAYS been pleasant and has had some fun stories about the books or covers or what was going on in his life at the time he was drawing them. Cool stuff, I tell you! Here are a few:

 

 

I had a great, great time meeting Gil Kane at the San Diego Con one year & I got him to sign some of my favorite Spideys. I'd read that Gil was a super-nice man & he sure was. When I asked him to sign some books, he replied, "Of course, Old Boy. It would be a pleasure." What a gentleman.

 

 

I've also had Stan Lee sign a few. I got him to sign quite a few at a small show at a mall in Phoenix in 1995. Nobody was freaking there! And I mean nobody! Getting to shoot the breeze with 'The Man' for about 25 minutes was a true highlight for me. Here y'go:

 

 

 

I think I've got all of Wrightson's Swamp Thing books signed & Len Wein has signed most of those, too. A cool 'double' for me. Got a sweet Avengers #8 signed by King Kirby and bunches of modern stuff (Preachers by Ennis/Dillon, Doom Patrols by Morrison, lots of Sandman by Gaiman & various artists).

 

For me, it can really add a special uniqueness to a book when I get it signed. There's almost always an added story about the books from the creators & for the most part, they're curious about what YOU thought of their work. At least that's how it's been for me so far. I've met tons of really nice creators! Yeah, there are some not-so-great encounters, but that's been far & few between.

 

I will give a shout-out to Brian Bendis. This was when Elektra #1 hit the stands. He signed one for me and one for my son & he was extremely nice to my son (about age 13 at the time) & really wanted to know if my boy enjoyed the comic or not & what was cool & what worked & didn't appeal to him. Bendis earned a fan for life in me and my son & I'll never forget that.

 

Man! I could post all kinds of junk! But I don't wanna hog the whole thread!

 

 

And - as far as non-comic related items? Got one. This is the back side of the lyrics insert from the Joshua Tree album. Still looking for a bigger poster, but this one holds me over quite well for now.

you must really have an impressive/gorgeous coll. overthere...i wish i had some of those comics even without the great signatures, but being able to catch Stan, the King Kirby, the great Colan and others???!!!

wow, a dream came true...!!!

holy lord, insanely cool collection, wish i could scan my dd v2#50, not my only signed book, have about 100 signed by greg rucka from an hour long chat, and quite a few from waid and kesel, but my dd #50 was signed by bendis the day it came out, then almost 2 years later i got it signed by alex maleev.

That is one of the coolest cover sketches I have seen. It fits in so well it's hard to tell this isn't part of the original cover art !

Got this mousepad from Martin at the PGH Comicon a few years back.

Not lately. But you're in good company...Jbud also hates me, but that's because the signed Albedo 2 is my reader. This is my keeper:
