I know this is from the other newsletter you linked, but your Original Sins story still cracks me up to this day. So good. I'm also seconding the person who brought up the How-To-Draw covers, those were fantastic as well.
So right after that Howard the Duck / Detective Chimp cross-over finally happens, you could do the "Very Aunts" cross-over team-up of Aunt May (Spider-Man), Aunt Harriet (Batman), Aunt Fritzi (Nancy), and -- I don't know -- maybe Aunt Zelda (Sabrina) (I'm blanking on others at the moment, but I'm very sure there are more). Giant Handbags! Day Drinking! Pinches on Infinite Cheeks! It writes itself, really. Easy money.
I always liked the captions on those "How to draw..." variants. The Matt Murdock discovery one especially made me smile.
Yeah, you should definitely do a newsletter on Spider-Man: Life Story, as those are quite interesting from a design perspective.
Count me in for *anything* regarding your process!

The Daredevil #1 "Know Fear" variant is one my favorites!

The Secret Wars Too one immediately came to mind. Glad you mentioned it. Doom is especially adorable.
I only collect Daredevil variants and this last year about killed me. 29 variants for Daredevil #1. I sold my kids to get them all!
That Die Hard Gwenpool Holiday cover is so awesome. I laugh every time I see it.
I'm upset that you are making me want to buy variants. How dare you, Chip?! HOW DARE YOU?! This feels like some sort of...ruse to sell your variants!
(I love the Secret Wars one. And the #310 one. I had never seen them before!)
I'm looking forward to giving you even more money to sign it. Hooray capitalism?
dear chip,
these are all great!
i particularly love silver surfer using the board as a tongue depressor!
also have you considered creating a character called the Depressor?
turns out it's the silver surfer on that cover. (sorry for the spoilers of the thing you're going to write)
thanks for arting!
love,
myq
I am mostly immune to variants but I had to get that Silver Surfer one back in the day and I regret nothing
