3 Second Coming TPBs SIGNED
Signed by Richard Pace, from his personal collection
Idle Hands will be a vast collection of artwork spanning Richard Pace’s career, including work from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and other publishers as well as his more recent work with Second Coming (co-created with writer Mark Russell), his infamous witches from Coven, and his upcoming series of Viking Horror one-shots. This is in addition to a large array of personal work including celebrity portraits, various daily drawings, as well as glimpses into past comics projects that fell by the wayside over the last thirty-five years.
The 300-page hardcover collection will also delve into his processes for painting, comics pages, his step-by-step cover method, and his working process for traditional pen and ink, digital colour and traditional painting. Further, there will be an exploration of his influences from classically trained artists like John Singer Sargent, masters of Illustration like Frank Frazetta and Joseph Clement Coll, and masters of the comics medium like Bernie Wrightson and Bill Sienkiewicz. And, finally, something we think has been missing from many contemporary artists’ books: a section on what Richard wished he knew when starting out on this career path, and how to survive and grow as an artist and creator in these hard times.
Intended to be far more than just a book of beautiful images, this collection is aimed at being a companion as we wander through the varied subjects and approaches taken, as well as the missteps along the way. The hope is to deliver a work containing not only a vast amount of artwork, but a sense of the person who made it. This book will only exist with your support, which will be thoroughly appreciated.
Richard Pace was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and eventually recovered. He studied Illustration at Sheridan College in Brampton, Ontario, and eventually recovered from that as well. He currently lives in Toronto and is best known for co-creating Second Coming with Mark Russell (AHOY Comics), and co-writing Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham (DC Comics).

All the artwork is completed. Editing text and production should take approximately two months, barring emergencies. So, after prepping the files, we expect the book to be ready to head to print 3 months after the campaign is over. Printing and shipping should take 2-3 more months, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done in February or March 2026.
Zoop will communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.
Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.
Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
