Maybe (if anything) you must state a grade... even though 99+% don’t know how.

Sounds like another eBay phone rep not knowing what they’re talking about. I tried to find that “new rule” by googling and can’t find anything...

Is there a particular area that’s exactly the same? I’ll go in with the magnifying glass...

Nope... completely redrawn for print. We’ll just have to disagree.
I don’t see what’s so hard about tracing with wet media acetate... it’s a form of acetate that accepts ink instead of repelling it. That’s how I would have done it but would have stayed more true to his line work out of respect. Must have been a rush job...

No, I went to college for production art. I’m comparing that art to a close look at the comic in hand... it had to be reworked completely.
The art had to be traced to separate out the colors. You’d start with the solid blacks, then go from there. Old school color separation is hard to explain and can be approached multiple ways. The gal on the left- her hair is continuous tone in print. If they would have just shot that art you’d see marker gradations. All of the color fields are continuous tone. The tricky maneuver is creating her eye shadow gradation area. The lips of the red face lady is another tricky area. -
The most noticeable difference I see from that art and what was printed is the swirls to the left of the big red face. Then maybe the gold area around the nose of the race car. They also moved his signature.
He likely didn’t know much about the mechanics of production art at that stage in his career, so someone had to rework it for print. What I would imagine is placing a sheet of wet media acetate over this and using tech pens and brushing ink to get working line art. -

What’s also cool about this issue is it’s one of the few (6 that I know of) romance books with Ditko art (maybe both story & art?).

At this point, the “required” field for condition is the vague “Acceptable/Good/Very Good/ Like New/New” field and other grading specifics are optional. I just started a new listing on my phone app. Hopefully that doesn’t change...
