    Where do you have books signed?

    I personally am not a fan of having a book signed on the cover. IMHO it takes away from the artwork. I am also not the type that will sell a book I get signed...Although I have in the past sold graded books with signatures. My rule of thumb is 2 fold:

    1) Cover is done by an artist that is NOT the artist inside...then yeah I will get the book signed on the cover by the artist that did the cover

    2) Creator/Writer/Artist/Inker creds for the interior of the book...then I get the book signed on the 1st available page where there is room for signatures and a dedication. 95% of my books in my collection that are signed inside are personalized to me.


    What are your thoughts on signatures on comics? Thanks.

      I have had a few books signed, specifically the Kiss members books. I prefer inside over the cover. Ace signed the cover , but also signed it beautifully.
      I have a Batman tv episode guide book that I am lucky enough to have signed by Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin,
      Julie Newmar, and recently Lee Meriwether. I asked them to look through the book and sign where they found a picture they liked. They all did with the exception of Adam.
      He was the first to sign it back in 89, and I didn’t think to ask him to find a picture in the book like I did when I met the others.
      Love that book

        I don’t have many signed comics. But, I go front cover with the plan to keep it. This is from Stan about 18 years ago before Wizard took over the big convention in Chicago.
        My Updated Want List:
        Comic book original art
        1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
        Custom Mego Nexus, Grendel

        Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

          I don't have any valuable "floppies" signed, just a few random indie comics. I just let them sign wherever and whatever they want, they're just keepsakes for me.

          I get quite a few of my trades or graphic novels (or whatever you'd want to call them) signed and the artists/writers tend to sign or draw on the first page or inside cover or wherever there's a bit of room — similar to what authors would do.
