The Tax Man Comes For Us All

(some of us more than others tho)

Hey kids.

Quick post today as I’m scrambling to get some other work turned in.

Birds of Prey dressed up as Landsharks to help me pay off the “tax man”

But some of you may have seen that I’ve put some BIRDS OF PREY #1 Blank Sketch Variants with my own — terrible but fun! — sketches on them on ebay.

I’m trying to raise a bit of cash for a not wholly unexpected but painful tax bill on my plate. So forgive me for a moment as I hustle a bit. You guys are obviously my most devoted and supportive readers, and I don’t like to lean on you too heavy, so don’t feel obligated to bid on anything you’re not dying to have, but I wanted to make sure to note it for you in case you WERE in fact interested. Links to the listings below.

On all of these I preferred the tiny drawing on the back to the front drawing…may have to think on that some and figure out how to make those tiny ones for the cover.

Tiny sketches on the backs of two of the covers.

Also, this one:

WILL NOT be up for sale, because on Sunday I will do another of our monthly drawings, and the winner (you must be a paid ANNUAL or up Subscriber) will get this sketch cover seen above, plus some signed comics, stickers and postcards similar to the sample package seen below as our September Winner.

You CAN still subscribe at the annual tier and be eligible for not only this contest on Sunday, but 10 more we’ll be doing throughout the next 10 months. Plus of course, everything else behind the paywall, which is starting to be a lot of really great stuff. :D

Oh, speaking of BIRDS OF PREY — the preview for ISSUE #2 — out next week 10/3/23! — is out today! All art by Leonardo Romero. Colors by Jordie Bellaire. Lettering by Clayton Cowles.

Also, if you’re at NYCC this weekend by chance a Jeff The Landshark fan has figured out that one of the Marvel Snap “Chase” Pins is a Jeff pin:

She’s totally right that that is Jeff’s logo — and that looks like the art from his first Marvel Snap card — so be on the look out! Also, if anyone somehow gets two… maybe we could barter a trade for something I have? lol

Since we’re talking Jeff let’s have a super tiny Jeff sneak peek from Nao Fuji, right?

All right…we’re down to the absolute last of the X-Men War rounds… semi-finals! WHO WILL IT BE?! Eeek.
