ESeffinga Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 People tend to bid higher for charity than for profit auctions. So, no surprise there. Twanj and Noob19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvin I can’t generate tears for the attempted flip of a charity auction piece. Noob19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be honest I didn't pay for it. Jim and I hung out a little back then and he wanted to draw something for me so I asked for Batgirl.

Jim has always come across as one of the truly good guys in the industry and it’s great you have a piece like this to remind you of the times you hung out together. gojira, BuraddoRun and Twanj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went to San Diego he always invited us to these huge dinners and to his house. The first time he did a signing at the store was on a very hot summer day. People were standing in line outside of the store in the sun. Jim saw that, went to the store next door and bought water bottles to hand them out.

AnkurJ Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I was told these sketches aren’t going to be used for covers after all. Can this be confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESeffinga Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Doesn’t that pose problems for the auctions took place after the covers announcement was made? Potentially anyway.

Another is whether a change in circumstances, allows DC to get off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_K Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Since there wasn't a specified deadline for publication, I don't see a real problem. DC isn't going to start publishing comics without covers, right ?? So unless there's a specific "no more Jim Lee covers" rule, why couldn't a marathon piece be used as a cover in the future ?? And these were supposed to be variant covers, right ?? Is there a "no more variant covers rule" ?? Edited September 7, 2020 by Will_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvin Not necessarily. Layoffs happen, and the law doesn’t allow one to create a change in circumstances and then rely on the change to get out of a commitment. It would have to be unforeseeable at the gitgo. Also, companies can be bound by the actions of prior executives. I question whether the promise was legally binding to begin with. Was it too vague to be enforceable, or did it lack any reciprocal action or inaction (also known as consideration) resulting in a bid and win?
