There I was, with a blank AoA #1 and a vision, but no concrete ideas on how to move ahead. What was I to do?

Option A - Leinil Yu would be at Mega Con 2016, let's ask his agent if he's doing sketches. Agent is unsure, says best to ask at the table. Facilitator suggests asking if book and payment can be sent in advance. I do so. Agent responds THIS WAS NEVER AN OPTION, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, WHO ARE YOU TO OFFER MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR A PRODUCT? I resist urge to tell agent to perform various relations with himself, instead say thanks for your time, start formulating Option B.

Option B - Reach out to Dexter Vines. Can't find any contact info after 10 minutes. Option B tabled.

Option C - (many months later in the year) Frank Miller is back and doing sketches. It'll be expensive though. And how do his recent products look...let's check eBay....eeeyyyaaccchhh! This guy wants me to pay two stacks for a stick figure? Yeah, f that.

Option D - Well, John Buscema is definitely not an option.

Option E - (after a fortuitous viewing of a Savage Wolverine #1 sketch on eBay) Find Mabel Garza.

And I don't think this Wolverine 8 cover homage -- signed and sketched by artist Mabel Garza (check out her art page on Facebook) on 4/4/2017 -- could have gone any better!
