Hidden drawing from PCC 2012

The Tim Sale story (recopied from my old reddit post on the subject)
In 2012 I went to Planet Comicon in Kansas City. I normally just buy books and stuff, sometimes get autographs, and when I run into an artist I love, I try to commission some art. But this time I actively sought out Tim's booth hoping to get a commission. I'm an idiot, though, and didn't realize that you have to show up in the first hour on the first day to get on a list for a guy like Tim. I approached his agent and asked if I could get some art. She said pretty firmly that he was booked up through at least Sunday morning (the next day) - I said bummer, I won't be here tomorrow. Tim looks over and says "Wait, were you going to ask me to draw on the box?" I thought he was about to shame me (as another artist who will remain nameless once did) - and I said yes. He says "Let me see that." He turned it over in his hands for a minute, setting aside the commission he was working on. He says "What did you want me to draw?" I was still anxious, but I said Jim Gordon, and he went to work, the rest of the line became a little perturbed, and in the end, I said "How much do I owe you?" and before his agent lady could give me a price, he waved me off "Just take it, no worries." or something to that effect. I left him a tip and said thank you, even his agent was in shock (apparently Tim never lets anything leave his booth for free). It's still, to this day, my favorite "box" story.

What a great story, and personal story. Tim has always treated his fans well. Congrats on getting a free Tim Sale sketch. Always ❤️ hearing stories attached to personal pieces like yours. It makes the art even more special and Tim is one of the nicest artists you'll come across in the comic book scene. Tim also knew that you're not flipping the art and it was to be drawn on a personal belonging item. Hope this Gordon sketched comic box will stay in your personal collection for years to come!
