DescriptionThe birth page of Yours Truly!I have to first give a huge shout out to Nick Barrucci for making this exclusive Comic Art LIVE variant cover happen in the first place. I approached him early in 2021 about doing something special for CALIVE to tie into the virtual Con, and he made it happen with the November 2021 show. Nick's been a great friend and advocate for all things CAF and CALIVE, and it's an honor to have him in my corner. When the Indiegogo campaign was announced, unbeknownst to me, Mikail helped organize several art collectors to ensure this cover would end up in my personal collection, and on top of that he facilitated a very large donation to go to the Hero Initiative at the same time. Mikail has stepped up to support our projects and the OA Community at large in many public and private ways, and I'm so glad to have him as a friend and confidant. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in delivering this gift to me. Dreams do come true! :-) Social/Sharing |

I could hardly afford a Vampi cover ... And I can only dream about a Vampi cover with me in it! ;) Congrats on this very special piece and thanks for everything about CAF!

This piece was meant for only one owner, and it's exactly where it should be.
Now, is it just me, or are you gritting your teeth here? Sword a little heavy Bill? I know with all your CAF duties you don't have time to hit the gym, but you probably should have made a little time before posing for this. If nothing else, just to make a good impression on Vampi there. LOL!

Awesome and love the details, especially the flowing Thor locks! You need a Vampirella cosplayer on the next DD. I recommend Jason D, he pulls it off well!

Oh, Dynamite
Mid November back the Unholy
What a very special perk for me
As I remember, what a sight
Oh, what a night, you know I Indiegogo Haeser's name
Four Vampirella covers not the same
It all funded in a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when the cover made me swoon
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a sight, hypnotizin' mesmerizing me
This was the place ML dreamed she'd be
Sweet collectors, what a sight
I felt a rush like Billigan's hammer thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' minigolf under
Oh, what a night

So cool, Bill. Not sure if there's anything cooler than to be immortalized in comic art, wouldn't you agree?! Love the smile while making the swipe, and you got some nice company here while doing it :) Great background detail and dig how the image is framed by the balloons. Congrats, man, and big shout out to Nick and Mikail for their contributions!
