Recapture the Joy of Childhood by Giving Original Comic Art this Holiday Season

Nov. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Santa Clara, CA – Avoid the mall this holiday season and find fun, unique gifts online at the new original comic art marketplace, Sketch Maven (sketchmaven.com).  Opening on Thanksgiving Day, Sketch Maven is a one-stop resource for finding distinctive gifts with personal and sentimental appeal.

“It’s hard to imagine a childhood that was not touched in some way by a favorite comic book character,” said Mike Todasco, founder of Sketch Maven. “From Batman to Archie, many adults fondly recall the thrill of reading their favorite comics as a child. Original comic art is one way to recapture the joy of those treasured childhood memories.”

Original comic art is the one gift comic book fans and collectors are guaranteed not to own since each hand-drawn comic art page is a true original.  A little known fact is that comic books start out as hand-drawn pages and those pages can have great collectible value.  “Original pieces of comic art capture comic book characters in their original form, adding to their lure and appeal,” said Todasco.

As gift-givers search for a gift that is different, fun and affordable, original comic art is ideal. “Original comic art pieces start as low as $10 which make them a unique gift that fits any budget,” adds Todasco.  “Many sellers on Sketch Maven also offer free shipping to make original comic art even more affordable.”

Sketch Maven allows gift-givers to browse through an extensive collection of original comic art to find a special keepsake that comic fans are sure to treasure always. “Original comic art pages are suitable for framing. It’s a gift comic fans can hang on their wall to enjoy throughout the year,” adds Todasco.

Whether gift-givers are shopping for Superman or Transformers, the collection of Sketch Maven original comic art changes daily, so gift-givers are encouraged to visit the site often. If a piece of original comic art is not available, requests can be posted to sellers.

Through enhanced search capabilities, top-notch service and incredible ease of use, Sketch Maven is dedicated to providing the ultimate marketplace experience for gift-givers and collectors alike.
