Person, I believe. I was first in line (hoping to buy a piece) waiting for Bill to get there so him and Sal could talk prices. Pretty much right after Bill arrived, a guy showed up and went off to talk to Sal. Next thing, the entire book was sold. :cry:

The pages were gorgeous, too. I’m assuming the ones he has on the wall will stay up through the con, so you should at least get to see a few of them.

I’ll survive. The more expensive art I go for, the more I have to expect somebody will be a bigger BSD. Lol

hopefully I’ll have some good alternates to show for the trip out. But yeah, the black and white work I feel is even better than the published stuff. Hopefully whoever bought it will share on CAF or whatnot so everybody can check it out.

We must have seen each other at the booth. I didn’t hang around waiting for Bill though, I figured I’d come back in an hour - the book is so beautiful I would have been happy with any page - I definitely didn’t figure for selling complete. I think my jaw was on the floor when Sal told me. It was my first stop at NYCC and I was pretty gutted.

Probably did. I was wearing a bright orange ball cap. 

Yeah, Bill had a few other pages he pulled out to show us that were gorgeous. I really hope the buyer shares with the world at some point. It’d be a shame for that beautiful art to go in a black hole.

Bill posted the b+w scans on the internet a few days before the show so you can see the entire issue and cover without any word balloons.

I feel for the guys waiting on line.  Unfortunately, his art, his rules.

 

Exactly what I told Sal. Really can’t argue with someone buying complete - and next time I’ll know what to do (mortgage house, buy OA).

I ended up lucking out and purchasing the prelims for the book. I’m probably happier than if I had gotten a page or two. It’s gonna take me a while to get them all scanned in. There’s a lot.

I think when I went by Thursday morning there were a few hanging on the wall still that were framed, I may have spoke with one of you that was waiting on pricing, sorry you didnt even get a chance but in some ways its great that one person has the whole book. Kind of interesting and I would like to know what that might cost.

The end of the article has a slide show of all the pages.  You can download each image.

I am not a big Sienkiewicz fan, I find his art often too cerebral. But these pages are beautiful! Anybody knows if the buyer is a dealer and might break up the book ?

Me too; what does it take to pull the entirety of something fresh off the drawing table and very desirable by many - in 2019?
