It works for 12 also.
Two options :
- Or each member choose wich page he wants, and you only start when all 12 pages have a buyer.
- Or you get 12 buyers, and gets a lottery at the end choosing who gets what. Use an innocent hand, such as Jim's kid.

In both case, each buyer is aware of what he does and the rules BEFORE. So no complain.
Anyway, chances are that buyers buy more than one page.
You'd just need to add something fair : if one of the buyer is someday to sell his page, he has to sell it to other buyers first.
That way buying this, you get two things : a page, and a chance to get another some day.

Just my two cents.
And i already got the cover.
; )

Can someone post the original six pages to refresh my mind, please ? I've got my reprint in some other place.

It's a redo of the FIRST adventure we're talking about here.
Only for Golden age and John Byrne fans.

John, the thing that i am worry about is not to find 10-12 members, is about what will D.C. says if you do it that way.
I mean, doing it in six pages just like the original, it's a tribute, an homage.
Doing in more, well, it's a story, or a comics. They migth be upset ?

Anyway, it's your decision, you say yes or no, i'm not here to "force" you to do it, of course.
I must add that the price you said is a very good one, it show your interest to this project.

I have two questions regarding this commission :
- Why did you choose not to add the text on the left ("Starring (...) the Batman") ? For visual interrest ?
- Do you remember (even as kid, for practice, ...) ever drawing this cover in your life ?
Thank-you

In fact, it's more easy than you think. Because, let's supose that John did made his choice, so he open a topic (just like the Othelo : who is interrested).
Now, each people entering in know the rules and that he migth not have the splash page. In fact, the risk is the same than when you order a commission : you're not sure of the result, until you see that the result is far better than what you thougth (you should see me before EACH of my commission : "what if it's not good !!?").
; )

So : A), we get 10 peoples, having $ 1000 and knowing only one will get the splash page (and you'll get them), John start, B) we don't get ten peoples, we forgot this idea.

Having a print, or a high quality scan, only for the 10 + the guy who get the cover is a very good idea.

The only thing is that making it in 6 pages will get more customers : a fan would rather get 1/6 than 1/10, 1/12.
And don't forget some migth request two pages. Two pages is a third. Three is half.

And thus it begins. . .

So, hands up who wants to pay a grand each for pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9?
