Reply To: NFTs for Comic Books – First Impressions

[joshdahl]

I was thinking about this.

So, picture a situation where a comic artist sells some original page or cover art to a collector.

After that, the book becomes super famous and the value of that original art sky-rockets.

So, that artist could still, likely, make money from that image by signing prints, maybe getting a cut of re-prints, etc.

But, if that original piece is sold again, that artist gets nothing.

Or, if that original page is valued at 1 million dollars, and simply sits in a collector’s vault, it is adding net worth to that collector, but doing nothing for the artist or their family.

Ok, so this is just What if? thinking…

But there could be a way that NFTs could forever bind an artist and their images. Maybe?

Thoughts?
