Rocket Girl #2 Cover

I'm a fan of Amy Reeder's work. Her book, Rocket Girl helped get me back into reading and appreciating the art of sequential storytelling. I've bought her books for nieces and nephews and drove into the city a few times for her art workshops. I've been politely pestering Amy for maybe five years now. Wanting to own this specific piece of original art to Rocket Girl


Funny how things can come full circle. The chain of events are too long to list, suffice to say I was never aware of the OA hobby/market till Twitter. That lead me to Amy's rep at the time, Jason at ES. My first OA purchase was to be something from Rocket Girl, but while looking over Amy's RG portfolio of work (looking to spend a few hundred for a page) I fell in love with another one of her examples. A Spider-Man Miles Morales cover - considerably more but on HOLD. Jason said if the buyer fell through it was mine! Suddenly a page wasn't good enough. A week went by and I was informed the cover was sold, but the damage was done. The itch needed scratching and I was ready to take the deep plunge into the hobby.


All these years later and I still didn't have my Amy Reeder example! All the RG pages I really wanted had sold and this cover was locked away in Amy's collection/inventory. Over the years I'd gotten to meet Amy, take a few of her art classes and I always made it a point to politely pester her about selling me this cover. So thrilled she finally said yes!!! To me it captures the mood of the series and the main character of Dayoung Johansson. Amy's line work is so crisp and clean but she still manages to convey mood and atmosphere, love the composition. The published cover doesn't do the OA justice!

Imagine my surprise when she informed me she was ready to part with this gem.

Very happy to be the custodian of this piece

Thanks Amy!
