Store FAQ

• Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?

  Right now, International Canadian orders, yes we do! Overseas International shipping is not set-up automatically at this time because of the large size (11X17in or larger) of the original art pages. If you're an International Customer, email us before you order anything and we'll price shipping depending on size and weight of the item and current post office classifications to get you the best options.

• Can I buy insurance for the original art?

  All items will be thoroughly packed. If insurance is desired, it must be specified and paid for by the buyer.

• How long will it take to receive my order?

  We mail out every workday of the week on a daily basis. Orders will be shipped based on when they come in, (expect an extra handling day for postage and packaging ) Once shipped, most domestic USA orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. Canadian orders will take a little longer due to customs! Overseas International shipping is not set-up at this time. If you're an International Customer email us and we'll work it out!

• is there any schedule or pattern as to what or when you're posting?

  I’m scanning it as I get to it. Sorry it’s so random. Some we don’t have artwork to (Bongo, Calgary Stampede) or sold quickly (various Star Wars series from Dark Horse.) Mark and I don't do many conventions at all (maybe one or two a year) and even then we don't have ALL the originals at the cons. What you’re seeing here are mostly pages we’ve never had for sale anywhere.

• Any possibly allergic substances on your artwork?

  We have a cat and we eat peanuts. If you're allergic to cats and/or peanuts, we urge caution! (but our cat does not eat peanuts..) We don't know for certain about most of the freelance work, but I will mention if the art smells funny. One of the pencillers, Brad Gorby was definitely a smoker but we only have a few items of his work left.

• I have a question, 'kay? But I'll email your husband at the office and annoy him about your shop instead of asking you..

  Um..yeah, whatevs, dude. Sure, you can annoy Mark and make his day just that much longer and and make the comic books that much later, but that isn't going to make prices any cheaper.
