Zoe Thorogood's Original Cover Art For It's Lonely Sells For $7000

A couple of days ago, Michael Anthony posted "I'm selling Zoe Thorogood 's Eisner nominated original cover art for It's Lonely'"

Zoe Thorogood has made a real impact on the comic book scene since she started creating comics for it in recent years. It's Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth in 2022 published by Image Comics was a real habit for the creator and publisher and, along with her work on The Rain at IDW, saw her nominated for six Eisner Awards and winning the Russ Manning Newcomer Award. She is working on a sequel, as well as work for Marvel and DC writing for Titan Comics and writing and drawing the new Hack/Slash comic.

A couple of days ago, Australian comic book reader Michael Anthony posted "It's hard to say goodbye. I'm selling @zoethorogood 's Eisner nominated original cover art for 'It's Lonely'. I'd prefer to sell this privately before going to auction next month. If you're interested, DM me for more details."

Well that didn't take long, He posted again, "It has sold and will be making its way back home to the UK. Thank you all for the enquiries."

I asked as to how it went and he told me, with the permission of the buyer, that it was sold for £5500 or around $7000 US. I understand that Michael Anthony has also chosen to give Zoe Thorogood a portion of that price. He told me,  "I'm an advocate for artists getting compensated when their work is resold for any sort of profit. Especially as it was her boost on her socials that got me in touch with the eventual buyer."

I also think that the buyer may have gotten a bit of a bargain there.

It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth Paperback – November 15, 2022

The 2023 Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award winning cartoonist, Zoe Thorogood (writer and artist of The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott, artist on Joe Hill's Rain graphic novelisation), records six months of her own life as it falls apart in a desperate attempt to put it back together again in the only way she knows how. It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth is an intimate and meta-narrative look into the life of a selfish artist who must create for her own survival. A poignant and original depiction of a young woman's struggle with mental health—through the ups and downs of anxiety, depression, and imposter syndrome—as she forges a promising career in sequential art and finds herself along the way.

A provacative graphic memoir perfect for fans of Allie Brosh's Solutions and Other Problems
