worldsbestcomics Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Some of you may have read my report on Emerald City ComiCon in 2007 where I told the story of how I purchased the Clayton Crain sketch cover at the HERO Initiative auction. Since Bendis & Bagley were at the show, I also got them both to sign it. I was impressed by the back covers that several artists had done for their Ultimate Spidey books and since Clayton Crain was also at the show, I approached him about doing a back cover for my book. I even posted a survey where I asked CGC board members what they would like to see on the back cover. The winning idea was, "Ghost Rider riding off with Mary Jane on the back of his motorcycle." I picked the book up from the amazing Mr. Crain at this year's Emerald City ComiCon and the results blew me away Just back from CGC this morning is the final result. Thank you Clayton! p.s. I commissioned Clayton to do a Captain America Fallen Sons front & back cover for me so be prepared for something special in my 2009 Emerald City ComiCon report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightson fan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Don't have the books yet, but they were graded today! I will copy and paste the results and will post the books when they arrive. This is my first EVER submission and I used my Collectors Society coupon. I am rather pleased with the results, especially the page quality, which is stellar for the books in question. Can't wait to send more books now.

Wrightson fan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Where are the 9.Xs? On these copies, I was happy to find nice copies, much less shoot for nosebleed grades. The 9.4-9.6's should come whenever the Value tier submission books get graded....probably in about 20 more business days. What do you care about pre-codes anyway Doc? Slumming?
