   I never knew there was such a thing as a "blank comic book cover", but I stumbled across them one day on the internet. Comic book companies will print comic books with a blank cover so the buyer can commission an artist to draw a cover for them. Okay... interesting... WOW! I loved sketch cards, loved Widevision and Panoramic sketch cards even more because their sizes gave more room to the artist to work, so finding blank comic book covers was a giant leap as far as how much room an artist had to draw. 
   In 2015, Marvel was doing a reboot of Star Wars, so the first issue was obviously Issue #1. They had a blank cover variant, so I ordered 5 copies each from two different Comic Book shops. My first artist to commission.. Mike of course. It was issue #1, so I had to go with main character #1 from the original Star Wars movie- Luke Skywalker. He gave me a price and I sent him the blank comic book. I didn't know what to expect- I had never gotten one of these done. As always, Mike came thru with flying colors for me! I didn't want anything elaborate- I had just asked for "Jedi Luke", and Mike delivered. I like the little details- things like the background, and how Mike drew the lightsaber up into the book's issue number and info- cool little things like that. It was a great start to what I hoped would be a cool custom comic book cover collection. That's all for this post- hope you enjoyed it and thanks reading!
