First appearance of "The Huntress"?

Thread like this was sorely needed here, this is a great thread.

 

I believe this book is still lone top census:

These qualify, but are probably not the intent of the post.

This thread is depressing.

 

Also, it amazes me how many people don't know the meaning of "single finest example." :shrug:

OK, so let's define this then. If there is more than one graded that has the same highest grade, you can post it, but if someone posts the same graded issue that has better page quality, then that one is the "single finest example". If someone posts say a 9.8 and someone else posts the same issue as a 9.8 pedigree, then that one is the better example (doubt we'll find any situation on which pedigree is higher if there are two pedigrees of the same grade of that same issue). My first post has Slow Death #4 9.8, there are three on the census, but I don't think the other two are pedigree copies. If someone has say a 9.9 posted and there's no 10, but someone posts a signature series 9.9 of that same issue, then that would be the better example (we can debate which signature is a better one if there's a copy with of a SS the same grade but different signatures, more signatures is a better example). A "File Copy" supersedes a regular copy of the same grade and page quality as one not a "File Copy". How's that to start?

 

A graded copy supersedes a raw copy unless a pic. is posted showing a better raw than the graded copy.

Finest 2nd print example of Zap Comix #3. 9.8 Off-White to White, "File Copy" and Howard Greber Collection.

My very first 10 ever. Though it is a squarebound, it is not a cardboard cover. Standard cover stock. Doubtful another one will ever show up.

 

Miller, Byrne, Sin City, Aliens....this book has it all.

Please don't retroactively dumb it down for everyone. Don't give the people who can't comprehend your simple concept an out.
