An Open Letter To Ethan Van Sciver

Mr. Van Sciver,

I doubt you will see this but figured I would give it a shot.

I am a big fan of your work and obviously a big fan of Supergirl as well. Last September, I was able to get the above commission from you at the Boston Comic Book Spectacular. It is one of my favorite pieces in my growing commission collection.

I will be heading to the Boston Super Megafest on Saturday where you are one of the guests attending. I will hope to be in line early enough to get another commission from you then. While I understand you will be swamped with fans all eager to get a free sketch from you, I was hoping to get something perhaps a bit more special and (hopefully) more interesting for you.


A while back on this blog, I ran a poll about which Lantern Corps would recruit Supergirl. As you can see Indigo and Blue garnered the most votes. But all the corps got at least one vote, I suppose showing just how complicated and multi-dimensional a character Supergirl is.

I am hoping that if I am in line at the right time and make it to you for a sketch that you would sketch Supergirl in some mash of her costume and one of the Corps' uniforms. I think she would most likely be recruited by the Indigo Corps but I would be interested to hear which Corps you think she would join.

While I know that your line at the Megafest tends to be quite long and that I cannot expect more than the standard free sketch, any extras you could add to the commission would be greatly appreciated by me. Appropriate remuneration would, of course, be gladly extended. The sketch would then be posted here for all to see.

I look forward to meeting you again and will keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks,
Anj
