This might be the most difficult SS book I have ever put together. It is definately the most expensive. Creepshow (first print) graphic novel from 1982 signed by George Romero, Tom Atkins, Tom Savini, Adrienne Barbeau, David Early, John Amplas, Hal Holbrook (yes, Hal Holbrook!!!!!), Rick Catizone (who illustrated the animation sequences in the film), and Gaylen Ross ( who canceled on me 3 prior times before actually showing up to a convention and signing the book). The book spent a year chasing Leslie Nielson before he passed away and Joe Hill turned down the opportunity to sign it. The book has spent more times in the hands of CGC, CAW's, and Facilitators than time spent in my home. It is finally done, unless a certain Mr. King decides to sign some stuff.

 

The book is tied for the highest graded first print edition.

Bernie Wrightson?

 

 

And I think the only other question I have is, did the book flux at all in grade or did it always keep the grade?

Great job sir! :acclaim:

Marvel Knights #1 DF variant s/s Texiera 9.8

 

I had never even seen or heard of this variant until New Orleans in January.

 

Apparently it's the only s/s on census to date, tied with three other Universal blue labels in the same grade.

This book has been graded FOUR TIMES!!!!!! How it has maintained a high grade is beyond my comprehension. Truthfully, Joe Pierson, Kris Moore, Cosimo Torello, Steve (Evil Ash), and others at CGC have handled the book with great care. I'm grateful to each person for making sure the book didn't loose grade.

Thanks! If there is a crack and sign for Kubert in the future, that would make it even less likely that I would ever sell this book! :grin:
