Hey everyone,

Just wondering how much value an artist signature adds to a comic?
I'm sure there are several variables at play but generally speaking, is a signed comic worth that much more than an un-signed version?
Just curious...
Thanks!

Really depends on the artist and comic.  Are you talking about mainstream print comics, or something like the original of a webcomic?

As a general rule, all art is limited in value until the artist dies. If you are hoping for Virmir to create lots of signed artwork for you to sell on then you will have to wait for him to pick the bucket first, and, considering how he lives, we will all likely be long dead before that happens. {;)

Do not create for money or renown. Create to inspire thought, feeling, and happiness in those that will come to know your work. {:)
