chrisco37 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 IMO, calling the cover lazy is silly. It's a fun concept and a totally transparent homage. It's not like Jock was hoping people wouldn't notice it's a swipe of the DKR2 cover Exactly. I thought it was the best one of all the covers, actually.

Or maybe he just lacks self awareness that he's looking at jocks piece through a glass house. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Frank, he had us actually put our signing on hold last week so we could reach out to jock and see if he had sold it yet. 15 mins later we had to bring him the bad news that it was already tucked away into a collection.

Maybe a trade could be facilitated? Doesn't Frank still have all the Sin City art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscott Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 He has a lot of it, he gave some to friends as I know he gave joe Kubert several pieces. Which are now owned by his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Tommy Lee Edwards not a fan of Jock's cover: I liked Jock's cover a lot and yes, blatantly obvious what he was going for. I've met Tommy Lee Edwards many times at cons and he's a really nice and thoughtful guy and I was a bit surprised initially that he wrote something so scathing in public without understanding that what he criticized was totally intentional on Jock's part. Then I see that he did it privately. I think the really shi##y thing about this is someone who Tommy Lee Edwards trusted in a private FB message would then go through the trouble to screenshot it and send it to Jock. What kind of trouble making piece of sh#t would do that? Whether you agree or not, TLE is entitled to his opinion especially in private. I get Jock's point of view on this especially since I feel he's one of the most unique and compelling artists out there now. But why make it public? Why not write TLE privately and say, hey what's up with this? I understand why Jock was upset. Who wouldn't be? I just think he could have handled this better too.

InkerMick Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hey All - This is Mick Gray, 26 year veteran DC Comics inker. I have a Dark Knight 3 variant cover that I inked over my partner, Patrick Gleason. It has not been announced as of yet. But I'm thinking it will be used for the third issue of the series. It looks FANTASTIC, in my humble opinion, and I would like to get the word out that it will be available for purchase as soon as DC Comics solicits the book. It is a GREAT image of Batman and the Joker fighting. Please, if you are interested in getting more info on this cover art, contact me at... inkermick23@gmail.com. Thanx!

Mr. Machismo Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just read this entire thread – good stuff. Glad to know these prices are likely inflated...That said! If anyone has a line on who purchased the Dell'Otto cover and if they're willing to sell, I'd offer a bunch for it. One of my favourite covers ever, though was not for sale when I inquired. Cheers.

Captain Canuck Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Based on the positive reviews the book is still garnering. Is it worthwhile investing in pages from issue 1 or 2 and what do you think they will go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFifthHorseman Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 @Captain Canuck because nobody should be expecting to invest in books and see a return. If you like the art then by all means please purchase. But not as an investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be true that most people do not turn a profit most of the time, but I can guarantee you that some do some of the time. I make a full-time living at it myself.

Agree = high risk and rather dubious likelihood of long-term success. TheFifthHorseman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
