“Just a Reminder” is a feature when we look back at comic book history to remind people of the actual comic book history in the midst of whatever the current comic book controversy is. Today, we look at the bizarre fan outcry over Jim Lee’s commission rates.
Recently, comic book fans were made aware of something that Jim Lee’s original art agent, Albert Moy, posted earlier in the year, which was that, for the first time in 15 years, Jim Lee was accepting commissions to be delivered to fans at conventions that Lee was attending. Here is what Moy listed for Lee’s rates:
Back in 2022, we did our annual Top 100 poll, and that time around, it was the Top 100 Comic Book Writers and Artists. Of the top five vote-getters for the top comic book artists of ALL-TIME, the top two artists, George Perez and Jack Kirby, have passed away. The third artist on the list, John Byrne, has been retired for a couple of years. That leaves just two artists in the top five who are still actively working as comic book artists – Jim Lee and Alex Ross. Lee, of course, is also the president, publisher and chief creative officer of DC Comics. That’s a rather significant job for somebody, and obviously, as a result, Lee doesn’t really draw comic books that often anymore.
