“BINC is run by a bunch of superwomen, so having Superman lead the charge was a natural fit,” BINC president Chris Morrow said of the partnership when we sat down to chat about the auction.
Den of Geek and eBay Live are collaborating on this auction, with 14 artists (and counting at time of publication) on board to donate their art. It’s got some big hitters, too—Rafael Albuquerque, Cully Hamner, Scott Koblish, John Timms, Eddy Barrows, Ian Churchill, Daniel Sampere, Joe Prado, Clayton Henry, Tony S. Daniel, Kenneth Rocafort, Ivan Reis, and Dan Jurgens are all in, so there’s a great range of white-hot current artists like Sampere or Albuquerque, backed up by the man who killed Clark Kent himself, Jurgens.
In fact, we’ve had a peek at some of these pieces, and Kenneth Rocafort’s piece is an absolute banger: it’s a polyptych with various parts of Superman’ life represented across the four pictures, along with some members of Superman’s family. Rocafort infuses his art with so much futuristic, sci-fi energy (his Ultimates 2 is an underrated classic), and this polyptych is full of that energy.
The Summer of Superman DC original art auction takes place at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Thursday, July 24 on eBay Live. In case you miss the live online auction during SDCC, you can scan the QR code throughout our collector’s digest section to access our upcoming schedule to set reminders, or view our Den of Geek Live store, where you’ll find unique and rare comics and collectibles, with portions of the sale proceeds benefiting BINC.
