Ultimately, I want prices to be fair, for both the artist and the collector. Not looking to extract every last dime out of buyers.

Hello from Australia! Felix, have you been suprised by how many people want complete issues? Was that option planned with artists from the start or just came about because people asked and you made it so?
Felix Lu

Nothing that was planned with artists, but an option I wanted to market from the outset. My first guy was Nick Pitarra. I sold several complete issues of MANHATTAN PROJECTS for him, and it's been off to the races ever since.

Given that I knew the collectors (and as a collector myself, understand what gets collectors excited!), I had a strong feeling that I could sell complete issues once I made that option available. And widely known. It's worked out!

Good point.  Seems you've definitely got a good reading of the pulse of the market, which I'm sure your artists appreciate.  Not an easy thing to do.

I try! It helps to be a collector, as there's already an instinct for what's a fair price and what isn't.

Does anyone here collect double page spreads, and if so, how do you store/ display them. I’ve stayed away from buying any mostly due to logistics of properly displaying in a portfolio.

@Felix Lu sorry for the patchwork post and typos.  Trying to edit in the chat window and multi-task obviously didn't work out well for me =)
