Your opinions requested - should I have Creig Flessel sign my Detective #10?

[JJBEE2001]

I'd love to send you my Adventure #37 for him to sign, but he told me he didn't draw that cover (even though CGC credits him on their label).

Hmmm, then maybe just have him sign the label.

[JJBEE2001]

Truthfully, I wouldn't care if he didn't draw it - if he'd sign it, I'd be stoked!

Let me also add a resounding "YES!" to your question. I think the cover is the way to go (although I thought I'd never say that...).

 

Please let us know how it goes

[comic_lot]

I'd leave it up to him. He did cover almost 70 years ago; let him sign it wherever he wants.

Has he opted for a lunch as opposed to the forum dinner?

[SignatureSelect]

the lunch was always in the plan. but dinner was just a maybe. We will ask him about dinner. maybe he will be up for it.

We don't know about the dinner yet. I'm going to tell him about the dinner while we're having lunch and if he sounds interested, I'll ask him if he would like to be a guest of honor at the dinner. We'll see.

I'm so excited for you guys

What dinner? When & where? I might have to fly out for that, if he were up to it. Obviously at 94 he can do whatever the hell he wants.

I think you should fly out for the lunch!

It's the WonderCon forum dinner. There is a thread about it in comics general. We've got 40 people coming so far, but there is room for more if need be.

Unfortunately Me and scott are the ones invited. I don't think Mr. Flessel could take more than 2 drooling fanbos at a time.

 

Hopefully he wants to come to the dinner though we will see how the lunch goes.

If he worked on the book then yes get him to sign it. That's a no-brainer.

[rjpb]

Have him sign it with a silver sharpie right in the middle of the cover, and make sure he writes BIG.

[JJBEE2001]

Make sure to take some pics from your lunch & post them here!

a once in a lifetime opportunity should never be turned down.

I dislike the idea of getting books signed decades after they were printed. Signature on first page is kind of OK, but sig on cover absolutely not.

 

I have made posters (actually huge photographs) from some of my books. I think they are great for signatures.

 

I agree with Arty. IMO that yellow label stuff is right up there with the Home Shopping Channel. But I respect your going with the mob, er majority rule. I'd like to hear a good Harry Donenfeld story.

Ok. What you really want is a sketch. Just ask for that.

 

If I were going, I'd bring my one book with a Flessel cover, have him sign it, get it slabbed, then hang it in my comic room.
