Some things to keep in mind:

SHIPPING:

ALL COMIC ART PAGES ARE SHIPPED CAREFULLY ROLLED IN A TUBE

Unless for some reason I decide to ship one flat. I don’t know why I’d do that, but it could happen. I might find one drawn on stiff illustration board, for example. That can’t be stuffed into a tube.

PAGE NUMBERS:

Use the date listed on the girlgeniusonline.com web site for number reference!

Don’t go by anything written on the artwork itself. Some pages were mis-numbered by accident. Some have been rearranged for artistic reasons. Some were replaced! It’s a mess! It took us forever to decide how to catalog this stuff so we could list it properly. The web site seems like the most stable choice.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ORIGINAL ART AND WHAT’S PUBLISHED:

Please check the listing photos carefully! What gets printed on the final printed page isn’t always what’s on the original art. Line work gets cleaned up, panels get replaced or flipped, small details sometimes get added in Photoshop during the cleanup or coloring phase. This is the nature of original art, and part of its interest and charm. Avoid surprises, be aware!

UNLISTED PAGES:

We have a lot of original art to list! Please be patient with us, even if there’s a page you’re really hoping for. Our files are a cave of wonders, and I’m slowly making my way through them and getting them organized. That takes time and I have a lot of other things to handle.

Pages from unpublished volumes are held back until we get the book in print.

PRICING:

Most comic pages are listed at around the same price as all their friends, but some will be listed at higher prices. The reason: There are a few pages we don’t necessarily want to part with, but even those have their price, so we list them with that in mind.

MEDIUM:

The comic art is made to be scanned and published, so the actual physical artwork isn’t always standardized. Most of it is on bristol board, which bends but is still a thick heavy paper. Some of it, especially the earlier pages, is on blue lined paper made for comic book artists. Sometimes there’s stuff on the back like a date stamp or address label, but usually not. If there’s art on the back and I notice it, I’ll call it out in the listing.
