    Sometimes it's the little things...

    I guess I should post this here?

    I recently cashed in some Amazon bucks on the Art of George Perez hardcover. I could have paid 35 plus through Amazon, but instead chose to go with one of the marketplace sellers used for 24.99. Yeah, I'm cheap like that.

    It's no secret that George Perez is my favorite, so this book was a must have for me. It arrived this evening. It was a little banged up around the edges and the spine, but I didn't get this for collector's value, I got this to read and probably re-read many times. So, I open the first page and BAM! It's the limited edition autographed version, number 80 of 400. I know most would be doing an eye roll about now, but that was sure cool to find that little surprise. Made my night for sure. Sure it wasn't like opening an old dictionary and finding a Honus Wagner baseball card, but it made me smile a little bit. The way things have been going, I'll take all the positive energy and vibes I can get.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        I only roll my eyes saying "MAN, I wish it'd been me!"

        Just kidding pal. That's a nice surprise! Let us know how you like the book too. I don't have that one yet.

            Very cool, Scott. I Love Perez's work, too, and he's a really nice guy from all accounts. If you're on Facebook, look up his name. Every now and the he posts some of the commissions he's finished.

                Those are the best! I bought Stan Lee's autobiography at some half priced book store in a dead mall once. Didn't noticed until I got home that it was signed. Now I can't get rid of it even though it isn't something I'd care to read twice....

                  Scott you are SO deserving of some good fortune. SO pleased it's coming your way. You deserve it and have more than earned it. Congrats on your score!

                    The books I get from amazon are always dinged up...so I think you made the right voice in more ways than one! Congrats

                        This is a really nice package so far. It seems a little bit impersonal based on other books I have where he seems a bit more open during the interview process, but the artwork and pages are just sick. This book reaffirms why he's my favorite. Ross is a very, very close second but Perez edges him out just for sheer volume. I'll write a review for the book once I've finished it.
                        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                          Looking forward to it Scott. Perez is my favorite living comic artist as well.
