0.5, a rough copy but a Daredevil #1 is so dreamy to have in one’s collection.

1.0, good luck with it!

7.0, it presents well though

5.5

The spine is pretty rough. 3.0-3.5

I love that cover!

3.0 to 3.5. A nice reader to have in a collection!

5.0, the back bottom spin hurts the grade.

5.0

2.5

3.5

If they ever reboot the DC movie verse, Icon would be a wonderful character to build a movie around.

That draws on a lot of different things. A great concept!

That’s a great cover!

Two things jump out at me: - The changing dynamics suggest a slight overemphasis on the part of representatives and dealers, perhaps not fully acknowledging the shifting landscape where their roles are less exclusive now. There are so many more paths to walk down when looking for a piece from this artist or that one now. 2) Reflecting on the delightful interactions with artists like Tim Sale and George Perez, it's disheartening to realize those moments are now in the past. My first encounter with Tim Sale was when he was the artist on Deathblow, stationed in artist alley without a line. Getting a sketch from him and chatting while watching him work was a joy. Despite significant changes in the process to get on his list over the years, the last time I saw him in Charlotte, he remained the same wonderful person to interact with.

In the tumult of Disney's trials, the tempest brewed when an overflow of content swept away the essence of anticipation. As folks endeavored to consume the deluge, they found themselves drowning in a sea of excess. The magic began to wane, and the once vibrant tales turned pallid, prompting hearts to disengage from the enchantment the company once so fervently bestowed.

In the pages of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," penned in 1818, we find the roots of a tale deeply intertwined with the human pursuit of knowledge, grappling with the moral quandaries that accompany scientific experimentation—a narrative sown in the fertile soil of speculative (science) fiction.

Brutal

Reflecting on my initial words, it occurs to me that I omitted a crucial detail—I hold a genuine fondness for the cover. Regrettably, under the presumption of a loftier fate at auction, I refrained from casting my bid. A missed opportunity at such a modest price. In the realm of Barracuda's obscurity, my curiosity led me through the pages of Punisher Max, witnessing the clash between him and Frank in the pursuit of Frank's daughter. Though unaccustomed to the modern comic domain, the narrative proved a compelling read. Amidst the overtly violent tapestry, it unraveled the unwavering resolve of Frank Castle, revealing the lingering embers of humanity within. Colored cover

Gratitude extends to all for the insightful responses and the wealth of information shared—undeniably intriguing. Yet, my interest is piqued, wondering if a reply may surface regarding the sale price from @Nexus Felix of Felix Comic Art. The same cover found its way to the hands of collector in times past via his website. https://www.felixcomicart.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=26572

@John E. Be it your inclination or that of others to cast an indifferent gaze upon it, to harbor apathy or dismiss it as mundane—irrefutably, Yellowstone stands as a cultural spectacle. It transcends the confines of a mere television success. Acknowledging your discerning eye that uncovered the Paramount network typo, permit me to confess that the meticulous scrutiny of forum posts seldom becomes a habit in my routine.

In the yesterday's Heritage Auction, did the dance of the gavel deem the Ryan Stegman's Barracuda vs. Punisher #3 cover to a humbler fate than anticipated? The buyer received not only Stegman's graphite ballet on one page but also the rhythmic ink strokes of JP Mayer on another. The mini-series was cancelled. The cover was a herald of solicitations before Marvel dropped the ax on it. Does a cover, curated by Stegman's skilled hand, not command a sum loftier than the modest $380.00+- it received at the auction’s end? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/covers/ryan-stegman-and-j-p-mayer-punisher-vs-barracuda-3-unpublished-cover-original-art-marvel-2020-total-2-original/a/322347-49233.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

@cstojano While you express an unfamiliarity of Yellowstone it is and has been the most popular show on TV. In the current declining TV viewership it is an abnormality and a phenomenon that is reaching massive amounts of people. As the tapestry of Yellowstone's fourth season gracefully unfolded, its concluding episode resonated with an audience reminiscent of the fervor surrounding the season finale of Game of Thrones in 2016. Yellowstone’s same day viewership was higher than Game of Thrones - (9.3 million vs 8.9 million). To illustrate the point further the series ending episode of Breaking Bad (2013) drew 10.3 million same day viewers. While your unfamiliarity of Yellowstone may linger, an intriguing oddity emerges - in today’s TV medium it has a colossal fan base and its rating rivals shows from times that had fewer options competing for viewership.
