Part of the fun in collecting original sketches at comicbook conventions is
discovery. Usually, when I hand my sketchbook to an artist, I've got no idea who they are. If they've got samples on their table, it can give me some idea of they're style, and also let me know if they're within my budget. If all of the factors align, I'll usually gamble on getting something interesting. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't.
The sketch above, of
David Selby as QUENTIN COLLINS, is one of the times it worked. I suspect artist
ANDREW CHANDLER has never seen
DARK SHADOWS, but he was able to whip up this sketch with a scant amount of reference material. It's one of my favorite pieces from the
2013 HeroesCon.
