I watched Stan Sakai and David Petersen work on a few copies of these Fallen Son variant issues with the blank covers, putting a lot of work into some of them.....

I knew that if I looked long enough, I'd eventually find some dealer with some of them up for sale on ebay.

Aw WOW! I love that Usagi one. *sighs* Now if it wasn't so muh I'd buy...

I have been tracking the Usagi one in my ebay watch items section. Its a very cool cover but I always feel bad buying these type of items. Is this a sketch cover that Stan did for free and someone is selling it to make a few bucks? I would love to buy it and I think the price is reasonable for a piece of original work from Mr Sakai.

I can't remember the circumstances... I'm sure Stan will clarify in due course...

These were free drawings. I did not know about these blank covers. I noticed the same guy coming around to myself and others with these comics, and refused to do any more. I did about 5 of them.

I also did a couple more for another dealer, who insisted I take some of their merchandise in payment. That's how I brought back gifts for my kids.

now confused about this...can totally understand if upset about free sketches being sold .. but if "payment" in the form of merchandise was made does this person now holding the sketches have a right to re-sell? should anyone be upset about this?
these are awesome pieces and pretty creative - whoever thought of the idea be it the folks at marvel for makine black covered books, the artists or the ebay seller.

I knew the dealer that I traded art for merchandise. Those were much more detailed, and I doubt they will show up on e-bay. The one on sale is one of my free drawings.

A couple of people approached me at San Diego with these blank comics. I turned them down.
