The second time there may have been a couple, but they would have snuck through. Whatever the case, if there are any, there are not many. My sub was a KJ and two LoEG books. subash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Why do artists and writers get like that? Refusing to sign specific works. For awhile, Speigleman wouldn't sign "Maus". I was lucky enough to get him to sign Vol 1 and 2 of the paperbacks. Musicians get like that as well. Refusing to play the song or two fans go to the shows to hear.

seanfingh Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Most of the time with comic creators there is a reason, and it is usually based upon financial considerations or creative differences. I once presented Alan Davis with a book, and he adamantly said, "I won't sign that as I wasn't paid for it." He signed everything else and was, as always, charming and engaging. But he felt very strongly about it and was very direct. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Ferrigno wouldn't sign a late seventies tv guide style digest for me as he couldn't remember seeing it before or getting paid for it.I thought he was going to keep it,tbh.

The CGCing costs were the listed prices. I paid the guys that flew to England a bounty of either $75 or $100 per book. That was what they asked me for to defray their costs. It was quite a bargain. subash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
