When was the last time Campbell did interiors on a comic? Hmmm.
My problem with Campbell is there is almost no spec value at all, if you like his style, of course, go ahead and buy but there is no hold on these. Even if one got under ordered for some reason, JSC will have hundreds, if not thousands, of these in his warehouse. I donāt believe the numbers of those limited versions he was selling on his site either, Iām sure the limited was the number available to the public and the rest he has stashed.
I maintain hes the single greatest businessman in the hobby.
Do as little as possible, re-use, digital color differently, change a head, ālimitā offerings to numbered copies, no interior work.
The man knows exactly how to suck in the comic guys and knows how to drain a wallet with as little contribution as possible. Its a modern day snake oil bottle wrapped with gorgeous rhinestones over and over and over
The guy is pretty amazing in my book to reel people in like that, still. The cool thing is we know this, and we still buy into it. Now thats a successful marketing/businessman
His Black Cat covers always sell well for me. I wish the MCU would put Black Cat in a movie so the prices would explode. Can they not find an actress with the right cleavage? What the heck is the hold up? We need Black Cat NOW. Next Spider-man movie, PLEASE.
Kat Dennings?
I donāt know how they would turn her character into Black Cat. If they cast Sweeney Iām OUT. She is so dull.

I fully understand that Campbell is going to support his wife with regards to her art, coloring, etc. She is talented.
Having said thatā¦I think the pieces in which Sabine Rich does his coloring are far superior and I typically will purchase those over pieces colored by his wife. Just my opinion of course.
