woregul Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I bought this raw Astonishing Tales 1 off ebay recently with no COA. Can anyone confirm that this looks like a genuine Jack Kirby signature? Thanks in advance. Edited April 30, 2016 by woregul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seredynskib Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Looks real to me... He usually signed in pen from what I've seen, but I've also seen some like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawson453 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi, I'm pretty sure that is a legit signature. I have a copy of Captain Victory #3 that I personally had Jack sign at a Comic book store here in Las Vegas when it was released and your Signature looks spot on. Congrats!

thecopperagekids Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I bought this raw Astonishing Tales 1 off ebay recently with no COA. Can anyone confirm that this looks like a genuine Jack Kirby signature? Thanks in advance. Most of the Kirby sigs I have seen were located on the first page, under the indicia.It looks legit, but you'd have to have pay a handwriting anaylist to compare it with Kirby's verified signature examples , and run a spectrum analysis(or whatever sortsa machine they use) to make sure. Costs $40 or $45 to have one signature verified.Tt could be more, can't remember offhand... plus the cost of grading fees.I can't imagine you would get hammered on grading fees for a 7.5-ish Astonishing Tales #1 as it is probably worth about $50 in Overstreet, tops. It would be a cool signature to get verified though and it sounds like you got a good deal on the book, to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMBIT Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 , It's looks OK, but I do see a couple things about the sig that I havent seen on others (I.E. that hook in the "K" and the "R" in Kirby looks off too, but I could be wrong. As said earlier, the only way to be sure is paying a handwriting analyst to verify the sig. - Just my But either way good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looks good to me. You can send it to a certain grading company for signature verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Hartman Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 He did seem to omit the 'c' in his first name.... But, looks real regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philreal Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This one looks a little different to me, but many factors could account for that I suppose. Any thoughts if legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eee91 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 My two cents: the signature looks legit to me - though the book has probably been trimmed, so it's hard to tell with the end of the "J" in Jack. Though more importantly, that eBay auction where you got this image from seems sketchy/weird - I would stay away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts if legit? I haven't looked at the auction, and I'm certainly no expert, but I think it looks like it has a lot of extra curly/curvy lines in spots than other Kirby sigs I've seen. You are right, however, that there are many legit factors that could account for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eee91 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Philreal- I'm no expert, but yours looks legit to me. The slant is consistent with Kirby sigs I've seen. Also - WOW. That's a nice comic to have signed. Philreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post if I ever do that to confirm if it was validated or not. Philreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
