Still an incredible book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to do with how well the front and back covers are cut during manufacturing , I could be wrong. The C-Link ASM 361 9.9 on the home page is miss wrapped to the bottom with a white stripe, so .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think someone would destroy OA on a fake signature. He probably attended SD comic con in 88, I am sure Ed was an attendee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that it was a page that was made in 84 and then the artist signed in 88 which to me makes it not in its original state. In my mind would prefer without signature so that it was 100% original. If it was signed in 84 with that date I think would have been better since the years coincide and not separate. Just my personal opinion on it.

It does bug me slightly, but it being OA, I would be down to buy it anyway whisp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaningless to an original art-collector. Those who collect OCA are generally far less fussy than Comic Collectors. With One-of-kind Items the paradigms of stuff like condition is nearly always overlooked. On the rare occasion I've have art signed, I always say please do not add a date. My wild guess on the #21 cover is $60K-$80K Edited December 13, 2021 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdmeyer11 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I bought a collection today that appears to have a nearly complete run of GI Joe books...including nice copies of the low print run books in the 150s. Sadly issue 21 looks no better than a 5.0. Nice copy of #1 though. Edited January 7, 2022 by Sdmeyer11 ADAMANTIUM and followtheleader 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticNinja Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I wish I could remember what happened to my old G.I. Joe comics. I have some left over. But I had a good run starting at the second print of #2. I still have to go through all the old covers. I know I stopped collecting when the series got kind of crazy and Cobra Commander got that silver armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
