Description

Jeff isn't selling any pages from his original graphic novel The Underwater Welder. He's keeping them all for his son, which I think is really cool. The over-sized 11.5 x 19 painting used for the signed and numbered Underwater Welder bookplate was donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Live Art Auction at SDCC 2012. I couldn't make it to the live event, so I put in a proxy bid and let it ride... :)

This is a brilliant, powerful and touching graphic novel that everyone, comics and non-comics fans alike, should read. I'm honored to own this piece of art.

The Underwater Welder was nominated for a Harvey Award for Best New Graphic Novel in 2013.

Great meeting you! I'm really enjoying SWEET TOOTH and look forward to reading this. Thought Lemire's piece for last year's auction was the highlight, too. Congrats!

This is a great piece. I had been looking around for Underwater Welder pages for sale. While I wish I could buy one I have to appreciate why he is holding onto them. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

Once in a while, I look to drop by, look at this piece, shake my cyber fist at you, admire it, leave a comment and go eat something bad for me.
