Commission

Commissioned family edition

Eight to fourteen weeks after brief · Drawn in Hawthorpe; proofs in the reading room or by posted wet-proof

Framed painting leaning in a studio corner

Who it is for

Collectors and families who want a Marvel NFT comic that still behaves like a short graphic novella: relatives seated as Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, in rooms that resemble their own, dressed with retro-futurist chrome and Kirby-weight weather.

The result

You receive a sequential edition of eight, twelve, or twenty-two pages; a numbered token whose metadata repeats the colophon; and one archival sheet (Somerset or equivalent) carrying the splash or a chosen interior panel. Additional sheets can be milled at the rate on the rates page.

Scope included

  • Written brief call (forty-five minutes) covering cast, house plan, and which family argument belongs on page one
  • Thumbnails, pencils, inks, lettering, and colour holds
  • Two revision passes at pencil stage and one at colour
  • Token mint after you sign the print proof
  • Posted print in a board-backed packet, or collection from the studio

Outside scope

Likenesses of actors, trademarked costumes copied panel-for-panel from existing issues, or stories that exist only as a token with no pages. We will not mint before the sheet is signed. We do not offer resale brokerage.

Provider and process

Ellis scripts, Priya colours, Tom letters and liaises with the mill. You deal with one of the three as named correspondent so notes do not vanish into a shared inbox.

  1. Brief and cast list
  2. Thumbnails posted as a PDF
  3. Pencils on the agreed page count
  4. Colour hold and lettering
  5. Reading-room or posted proof
  6. Token mint and sheet dispatch

Preparation

Send photographs of the rooms you want echoed, and say plainly if anyone should not appear. If a relative has died, tell us whether they sit at the table or appear only as a photograph on the wall; we treat that instruction as part of the script.

Constraints

We draw original sequential fiction in the Fantastic Four family register. If a panel would tread on a composition we know is still in print from another publisher, we change the camera. Page count cannot jump after pencils without a new quote.

Price basis

Starting from the page rate on Rates. Family editions are quoted as a whole because lettering density and extra likenesses move the number. A deposit holds the slot; the remainder is due at proof signature.

Next step

Send a brief with the working title of the household and a preferred page count. We answer within two working days.
