[HighVoltage]

Special Marvel Edition 15 (signed by Starlin)  5.0
Asking Price: $215

Partial staple pop on the cover at the top staple. Bottom part of the staple has broken through the cover. Top part is solidly secure. Spine has about 8 bends and slight color-breaking ticks. Top edge spine corners show stress and impact wear. Lower staple has a slight stress line also. Top edge, open edge and bottom edge have minimal wear. There are pen impression marks in two areas on the cover. First one is below Shang’s left leg. Looks like someone wrote: Pd RN. Then just to the right of the Sumo’s left foot is a pen impression of: 7/25/73
Oh yeah - and I had Starlin sign this at the Baltimore Con back in 2006 or so.

Back cover is nicer, but shows some slight wear on the edges and has some light soiling. There’s also a crescent bend that lightly impresses into the back cover, to the right of the ‘Have You Seen This Coupon Before’ text. Staples are snug, page quality is off-white but supple.

Shazam 1  6.0
Asking Price:  $15  [SOLD!]

Excellent gloss & ink strike. At least a dozen spine ticks that break color. Spine corners show a little softness, opens corners are nice. Book has a long, vertical bend closer to the spine side that runs from the ‘S’ in Shazam down through Superman. Another horizontal bend below the lower staple and a third bend below Capt. Marvel’s feet. Back cover looks clean, but a horizontal bend from the open edge through the driver’s goggles, ULC area. Stacking curl bend that runs vertical near the spine. Staples are snug & page quality is supple.

[ON HOLD]

Saga 1-28 [Set]    (#1 is a first print - 8.5)    2-28 9.2 - 9.8
Also two Image Firsts, both signed by Fiona included
Asking Price:  $300  [ON HOLD]

The #1 presents like a 9.2-9.4 range. But it has a moisture droplet of some sort right below the baby’s head on the front cover. I think CGC would kill the book for that - hence the 8.5 grade. Otherwise, light wear. Spine corners exhibit slight burrs at top and bottom. Back cover has two very light bends near the spine edge (near URC and mid-spine).
Issues #2-28 range from 9.2 to 9.8. If you need a specific book  graded out, LMK. I’ll grab it out of the stack. Overall, the books lean toward higher grades.

Let’s call shipping on this set at $6.00

Avengers 43  4.5
Asking Price:  $30  [SOLD!]

Top edge has the most wear, but there’s an accumulation of small color-breaking bends, creases, and non-color breaking bends. Centerfold is loose at the top staple - looks like from manufacturing punching through a little too hard. Back cover has a few lighter bends in the middle of the book, and also some small open edge tears and along the top as well.

Avengers 44  6.5
Asking Price:  $25  [SOLD!]

Nice color and gloss.  Smaller, diagonal sun/dust shadow LRC area of front cover runs up the bottom of the open edge. Top edge overhang bends. Top and bottom corner areas of spine have some bends. Back cover has some mid and ULC spine bends. Small chip out, lower open edge. And another sun/dust shadow in the LLC area. No idea what a prior owner was doing with this book - using it to block out sun coming in the window?
