The most impressive comic art pages you'll ever hold in your hands: IAN BERTRAM'S PRECIOUS METAL #4 original art drops tomorrow, Friday, October 4th, at 9AM PST/12PM EST! ALL pages + cover!
And when we say "all pages", we mean all 40+ pages! Each one a masterpiece of storytelling, design, and creativity. Each at a scale we call Wall Power: 18X24!
Five years in the making, PRECIOUS METAL is Ian's followup/prequel to the Eisner Award-winning LITTLE BIRD (Best Limited Series 2020). Beyond the Eisner, LITTLE BIRD's many successes include widespread critical acclaim, a gallery show in France...and all original art 100% sold out. 151/151 pieces sold. With PRECIOUS METAL, Ian set out to top LITTLE BIRD.
With this art, we believe he has achieved that goal. Where LITTLE BIRD was created under deadlines, Ian made sure to take his time with PRECIOUS METAL. Not only would each page be drawn at over twice the size of LITTLE BIRD, each page would be perfect. The first three issues of PRECIOUS METAL were pre-sold complete so that Ian could self-finance his vision. PRECIOUS METAL #4 may be the strongest issue yet.
The venerable THE COMICS JOURNAL certainly has taken notice. Check out this recent comprehensive interview with Ian:

There are comic book artists. There are artists who work in comics. And there are generational visionaries like Ian. Your chance to add one of these amazing pages to your collection comes tomorrow. Ian has gifted art from issue #5 so that won't be complete, and he is keeping issue #6. So this is the only issue that we will offering that will include ALL art.
Set you alarms and click the UPDATES tab at the drop to see all the pages at once. Time payment plans are available with prior approval. Good luck to all tomorrow!
