Why Is DC Comics Publisher Jim Lee Stalled At 57 Of 60 Sketches For His Art Auction To Help Comic Book Retailors Hurt By Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic?

The last Jim Lee sketch we have of his 60 sketch commitment was from early January 2021 followed at the end of that month with a sketch by Patrick Gleason for the same initiative, but doesn’t count towards Lee’s 60 sketch commitment. Jim Lee’s efforts, personal and with his artist friends, have raised to date well over $830K for the effort that began in March of 2020.

Over 4 months ago, in February I believe, Jim Lee posted about a hand injury and asking fans for patience concerning his art.

However, since about May 2021, Lee has posted other art for charity and they appear to be new art as he did at least one of them live on his twitch account.

So, why is Jim Lee stalled on 57 of 60 sketches? Did I miss one? Let me know friends.
