Description

In all my years of collecting art, I've never made a trade. Usually because I buy things I intend to keep. And on the rare occasion I've proposed a trade, the conversations simply didn't pan out.

Often that's because the collector was simply not interested in parting with a particular page. I completely understand that perspective, as I've turned down trade offers from folks for the same reason. Other times, I've found collectors willing to trade the pieces I'm looking for, but not for the pieces I'm willing to offer.

So I've developed this, admittedly biased, feeling that trading isn't worth the effort. For me, it's been hard to make the right deal because there's very few pieces I want to let go of.

Enter Sonu Kumar.

Over the years I've had a number of collectors reach out to me about selling or trading my Tim Sale pages. I've only ever sold two, and one was a situation where a great offer came in at a time I needed money. I regret that sale to this day.

So when Sonu contacted me about one page in particular, it wasn't a notion I genuinely entertained. However, he clearly had a gameplan put together to pry this gem from my collection. And that gameplan started with Superman For All Seasons.

As you can see in my gallery, this is my favorite comic of all time, featuring my favorite character of all time and drawn by my favorite artist of all time. I've long had a goal of acquiring a quarter of the book, and I've now reached that goal thanks to Sonu and his persistence.

One thing I've always appreciated about For All Seasons was the fact Jeph and Tim focused on the everyday moments around the Smallville farm and bustling Metropolis. But when they wanted to show Superman being super, they opened things up with two page spreads that capture the awe inspiring nature of his powers, as they do here with the Man of Steel plumbing the ocean depths to track down a rogue submarine.

However, as Sonu pointed out in his writeup, the best part of this trade was getting to meet a fellow Tim Sale fan and talking art for a long evening. And not just art. I got to learn about Sonu's background, his culture, job, and many other things that broadens my perspective as a human being. I'm certain it won't be the last time the two of us get together, and hopefully there's much more Tim Sale art in both our futures.

A great use of the double pager to let the feel of the vastness of the sea to just happen and fully immersing the audience in the environment.

Glad you were happy with your part of the trade. I look forward to all of our future art chats!
