Any chance you can post pics of the Gene and Paul signature cards?

Maybe these are artist who worked on KISS comics or something. . .

Ahh that's it.

Think the last time I read a KISS comic book it said "Marvel Comics Super Special" on it.

Just seen images of the autograph cards.

VERY glad I didn't bother trying to import any of this.

It is unfortunate -- they did such a great job getting some big name signers, but then didn't bother to design a card with a spot for a signature. . .

What do the autos look like ? Can we see images ?

I saw them on eBay.

OK, well those autograph cards are very much in the old style used for comic characters like Evil Ernie. The signatures are just written any place on the front, sometimes across the picture when there is no obvious open space. Many times they used silver or gold ink, as it was easy for black to disappear into the usually colorful photo.

Dynamic must have made the decision that they wanted them to look like those throw backs, or else they would have designed a signature box.

I'm of a mind to think it's a case by case basis as to whether you like the look or not. As long as the signatures stand out, it's fine. If you have black ink disappearing into a dark background, then it isn't fine. The cards with better placed autographs should have more demand.

I don't see any design here at all. If this was a decision to look like 'throw backs' . . . well . . . it's not for me.

For what it's worth, those autographs seem fairly clean, it's more the photo design that becomes the issue. If you look at the sketches, with the exception of Cover's on top, you have really tight, face focused images.

Dynamic seems to have made a point of wanting to concentrate on the KISS make up. Some people will like that, some will find it boring, but it is the thing they are best known for as much as their music. For the auto cards it just has to lead to signatures scrawled across faces.

Since these are on-card signatures I guess KISS didn't object to writing on their own faces.

Excuses, excuses. Ugly cards are ugly cards
