Al Milgrom Firestorm remarque 0

[John Worley]

I am thinking of getting a Firestorm remarque by Al Milgrom. Has anyone gotten one they can share by him or even other characters? Thanks, John

Can I ask in complete sincerity what a remarque is- I've just never seen this term. Is it like a re-creation?

I find this question remarkable

Thank you. I believe I should be quoted as extensively as James Joyce or something and you just confirmed that belief !

Ah, so it's... a blank cover commission that got certified? I apologize for not knowing the hip lingo, but I never took to stuff like calling comics "floppies" either

Lol I think if you Google the definition 

Remark is a short saying or quip from an artist

Remarque is a short illustration from an artist

And sketch is a drawing

While a commission could be all of the above

My guess

The remarque is the little Spider-Man headshot in the bottom right corner.

Thank you!

A remarque is just a little sketch of a requested character. As far as I have seen just a head shot

I have a full sketch available for the right price...

What's the logic behind giving that a NG?

An extra cover was added to the actual cover where the sketch was done.

In the good old days
DC Comics decide not to publish Blank Covers for Sketchs  
At the time only Marvel  will do that...

So a fervent DC fan decide to create 
a blank sketch cover for artist to draw dc characters 
this cover was add to a published book 
and that is the reason "NG" was applied to the label

If I recall correctly that was a CGC Board member
and Kudos to Him.

I have no idea what that sketch is.  Is that Wolverine's armpit or what?

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer. While Kieth was drawing it he remarked how a lot of his characters seem to look alike, which is why he felt he had to label it.
