San Francisco, CA — June 22, 2026 — Raremarq, the premier online marketplace for rare comic art and collectibles from top creators and their representatives, is excited to announce its first-ever Summer Commission Event, offering collectors a new way to kick off the season by discovering, bidding on, and securing commission slots directly from some of the comic industry's most sought-after artists.
Beginning June 22, 2026, collectors will have the opportunity to bid on exclusive commission slots from an impressive lineup of acclaimed talent, including Rian Gonzales (Marvel, DC), Lesley "Leirix" Li (Marvel, DC), Greg Land (Marvel, DC), Sabine Rich (Marvel, DC), Kendrick "Kunkka" Lim (Marvel, DC), Eric "Weijic" Chen (BOOM! Studios, UDON Entertainment), Greg Horn (Marvel, DC), and many more.
The event will also feature commission slots from artists represented by several leading comic art agencies, including Fletch-A-Sketch, showcasing artists including Riccardo Federici, Ema Lupacchino, Megan Huang, Giulia Pellegrini, Gus Vazquez, and Francine Delgado; Japan Comic Art Expo, featuring artists such as Maya Miyazaki, Fumi Saito, Akiba Maoh, Hissatsu-kun, Satoshi Hatano and Daisuke Kadokuni; 3 Wishes, representing Felix Morales, Aaron Felizmenio, Heubert Khan, Jann Galino, Jethro Morales, and Carlo Garde; and Risso Nicolas, representing artists Eduardo Risso and Carlos Barocelli.
Unlike traditional commission waitlists, Raremarq's auction format gives collectors a transparent and competitive way to secure coveted commission opportunities while allowing artists to determine the market value of their time and work. Participating artists will offer a variety of commission options, ranging from sketch covers and character illustrations to fully rendered original artwork.
The Summer Commission Event will run from June 22 through June 30, 2026. All commission slot auctions will be hosted on Raremarq’s dedicated event page, creating a centralized destination for fans to engage with the event in real time.
The Summer Commission Event also marks the halfway point of Raremarq’s packed 2026 event calendar. Throughout the year, the platform has continued expanding its lineup of curated events designed to spotlight diverse talent, connect collectors with creators, and celebrate some of the comic industry's most exciting artists. With several major events still to come, Raremarq remains committed to creating unique opportunities for both fans and creators.
These seasonal and themed events complement Raremarq’s fan-favorite annual programs, including Arttrober with Stanley "Artgerm" Lau and Franks-Giving with Frank Cho, both of which have become highly anticipated traditions within the comic art collecting community.
