After the dust has settled
After back-to-back monster events[i] to start out Lindol Comics’ convention schedule for 2019, a thought occurred to me this afternoon while I was working on the script for Issue #5:
“What have people been doing with their Lindol Blank Cover Variants?”
How we got here
Published in September 2017, the print run of the first issue stood at a solid 500 copies with 100 designated as the limited edition blank cover variant[ii]. Now, between the creative team’s complimentary copies, advance orders, and convention sales–more than a few are currently circulating locally and abroad.
So, I am curious, if you own one of our blank cover variants…how did you make use of them?
Are they stored for safe keeping? Did you have a commission done by Lindol co-creator Randy Valiente? Maybe another artist worked their magic on it? Did you have it graded?[iii]

Been around the world and I I I…
Much like Lisa Stansfield, Lindol Comics truly has been around the world. Aside from the Philippines, it has reached several points and territories of the United States. Among them: California, New Orleans, and Guam.
During New York Comic Con this past October, my blank cover variant made its rounds in Artist Alley as well as the main convention floor. Several artists and writers were nice enough to personalize it with autographs and quick sketches. Batman writer Tom King even had a chance to quickly go through it while signing the book and offered some nice words about the issue.
