Marvel Feature #2 CGC 9.4 s/s Frank Thorne - $165

Data on this one surprised me.  It's the ONLY s/s copy on the census. And while I shouldn't be surprised---because both Thorne and Bruce Jones don't do shows---in fact, any s/s you see on either of them was through me---but I would have thought there would have been a few more MF books s/s Thorne.  The only private signing I did with him back in 2009, I took subs from board members---but I also pulled a lot of HG MF comics even when I saw him a few years ago.  I thought there would be at least one other copy in the census.

too.

While we are on Mister X, here is one of my favorite signature series books.  The sigs are like further artwork on the cover, perfectly placed:

One of Stan’s personal favorites was Daredevil 47.  He chose that story as the “modern” one to reprint after DD’s origin story in “Son of Origins of Marvel Comics.”

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The opening sequence to Journey #1 is still one of my favorite scenes in comics.

For what’s its worth, they have added some more rare guests since I started this thread:

Bumping again just in case anyone has changed his mind and is going.  I would LOVE to get a couple of sigs from longtime hall-of-fame inker Bob Smith!

I don’t believe it.

Bumping this thread in case someone in the Northwest has not seen it yet!

Anyone facilitating?

Long shot here.... any facilitators on the west coast potentially interested in attending this one-day con in northwest Washington?

Rare appearance by longtime DC and Archie inker Bob Smith.  Star Wars & Batman artist Rick Hoberg and Spider-Man artist Randy Emberlin will also be attending.  They also promise that more guests will be announced:

Back in the 90s, I purchased  Captain America 50th anniversary signed prints. I also purchased the Dynamic Forces signed X-Men 1 and Fantastic Four 1 and spent hundreds of dollars adding Stan Lee through CGC SS.

Like everyone else at the time, I  believed these pieces to be authentic based upon the reputations of the companies that were distributing them and the claims of them being signed under supervision.

But after doing the analysis,  research and networking with others, regrettably, I’ve lost confidence in these pieces.  I have to follow the evidence, not what I want to be.

It has been a bitter pill to swallow. 

What has caused you to lose confidence in the Dynamic Forces signatures?

Adkins inked the cover. I wonder if some fan at convention asked him to sign the cover for that reason.  The more common spot was obviously the first page in those days, but it wasn’t unheard of to have an occasional cover signed.

Also: what incentive would someone have to forge the inker’s sig?

Still, I agree with Sean, in that I haven’t seen that style of sig by him before ....

So... who is going to ask the big question first!

Can we see the book?

This was never going to happen, not in a million years, but there was always some microscopic part of my brain that held out the tiniest smidgen of hope that I would someday get Ditko’s signature on my Amazing Fantasy 15.  Don’t laugh.

Do that added to my sadness when I learned that he is now gone. But I am more sad that he never profited from his creations like he should have. And I am sad that he died alone. And I am sad that he wasn’t even found for a couple of days.  The whole thing is not fair.

I admired him. It really sucks that he is gone.

I’m pretty sure there is no sucker who’s going to pay that price.

There is.  It’s called the law of supply and demand.

Website does not have any artists listed yet, at least none that I could find.

I’m surprised no facilitator will be there?
