    If CGC 9.6 isn't worth grading...

    I'm not sure I understand the question (which, of course, is a "me" problem).  However, this book wouldn't grade 9.6 and is most certainly not meaningless.  It even showed up in a movie!

    ... I think any book that only has value as a graded 9.8 has no actual value at all.

    I think Kirby is over-rated when it comes to drawing the human figure. 

    He's got incredible imagination and creativity - clearly a towering figure in comic storydom and imagination. But his human figures are plain blocky and when in motion are almost always portrayed in the same bizarre "squat" even when running. 

    And his faces - almost always the same face for almost every character: Cap, Thor, Kamandi, you name it - it's almost always the same face and mouth (his own mouth btw). And his ability to draw female faces, ugh, same as Cap or Thor, but with boofy hair. 

     

    There.
