  1. Legend has it staff were dispatched by the publisher to bookstores to physically excise the offending page from books already on the vendors' shelves.

     

    Hence the rarity.

    I've only seen one copy of it with a bibliography at SD:CC in 2004 at a dealers booth. I was told of its rarity but I thought it was a sales pitch and didn't give a darn
  2. On the two pieces pictured there are a lot of differences in the two signatures (or it looks that way in the scans). I love the look of the first one, awesome picture and the autographs really standout.
    One is a ball-point pen, one is a marker.
  3. From across the pond (flaming telepath/Nick)... :cloud9:

    At first glance, looks like a freakin 9.0...in hand, hard to tell how it isn't 6.5/7.0 easy (?) (shrug)

    That is such a gorgeous book. :applause:

     

    If the book was given a 6.0 for the staining, that is a travesty. That is about as nice a #2 as you will see. There must be some other defects we can't see? (shrug)

     

    A beauty. Looks like a candidate for a trip to the spa to get rid of those spine tics.

    Lets bot beat around the bush. I would definitely consider pressinf that comic.
  4. Here are a few highlights from recent CGC returns and purchases. Once again, it is all Canadian.

    Superheroes, Kirby art.

    Bzzzzztttt

    I was unaware of any Kirby art. Did he do the Boy Commandos or Captain Marvel?

     

    Looks like Kirby Boy Commandos and Beck Captain Marvel, doesn't it?

    Their usual characters.

     

    Fun book. I'd like to have even a rough copy.

    As rough copies go, this one is pretty rough. Back cover is detached, Front Cover hanging on. Still not bad for $5.00 at the swap meet.
