Get Savage! posted by bagofleas

My favorite result from Megacon!

 

I did quite a bit at Megacon this year. I think I was able to do so much because I pretty much completely ignored the celebrities area and only focused on comics and sketches and dealer boxes.

 

I got some comics and magazines done onsite, I got some signatures and sketches done in my big brother's sketchbook, and I dug through dealer boxes, finding a few great books I've been looking for.

 

Among the onsite books I had done, one in particular wound up being the highlight of the show for me, in a couple of ways.

 

I bought a "near mint" copy of the Marvel Graphic Novel, Ka-Zar: Guns of the Savage Land from Mile High Comics over 18 months ago. It's a tougher MGN to find at all, let alone in good shape. I decided to finally take it to Megacon this year for Chuck Dixon to sign.

 

He was thrilled to see it!! Said it was "A blast from the past". Apparently no one has ever asked for him to sign a copy before! He was so happy, that he wrote "Get Savage!" on it and signed it!

 

I turned it in for onsite grading. Megacon is the only convention all year that CGC will do onsite grading of magazine size books, so I always like to at least do a few. I did not expect this copy to get 9.8, but I had it pressed just to give it the best chance.

 

Well I couldn't be more happy with the results! This is now the only graded copy in existence!!!!
