krighton Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Read the first issue, thought it was just ok. Feels like a 70s comic or something. maybe 70s doctor strange, the 70s produced a lot of worthwhile reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 a lot of the ones I've seen were signed...so even if a number on the back and no sig will fly past the CGC radar, there's still not too many out there, considering the entire print run was 200.

Nexus Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Read the first issue, thought it was just ok. Feels like a 70s comic or something. maybe 70s doctor strange, the 70s produced a lot of worthwhile reading. Art is very influenced by Joe Kubert. Overall aesthetic is reminiscent of Alex Toth-designed Saturday morning cartoons. So yes, a strong '70s vibe. As a '70s kid, needless to say, I loved it.

Mike's Rack Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Can you guys find that anywhere? I have exhausted the impressive search function on the boards as well as Google and I can't find where this policy is stated. TSOL Boogeyman edition is numbered on the front. I emailed CGC back and forth when the book came out and sent scans of a numbered one. I guess whoever told me it would get a green may have been wrong. You may be right, I just can't find it either way. The official statement on green labels mentions sigs but not hand numbering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, I've seen quite a few numbered unsigned. I have two and I know that the person that sold them to me had more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIREFLY Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Read the book beforehand thanks to Frank. Nothing like having a floppy though. As long as the books keep coming out, I'll keep buying it. So far, so good. Thanks, Frank. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the eccc variant is numbered, but not signed, what will it come back as? I assumed green label as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erndog Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's a mini right? 5 issues? I saw it on the stands and saw the "1 of 5" thing and immediately skipped over it. Most mini's = trades in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
