A True CGC Marvel Super Special Comics #1 Miracle! 0

[John Worley]

I have a wonderful story to share...a Christmas Miracle! I sent in a Marvel Comics Super Special #1 starring KISS AND containing real KISS members blood in the red ink using walk through status so I could have it back in time for Christmas. Well...it came back a 7.5 which was nice but the plastic case was broken badly. I reached out to CGC and received authorization to send it back so they could make it right due to a mechanical error with the idea it would be back after Christmas. Thanks to Ashley at CGC I received this back YESTERDAY. MERRY CHRISTMAS CGC AND THANK YOU FOR THE BEST PRESENT I WILL RECEIVE FOR CHRISTMAS...a memory book from my youth!

Why did you need it back before Christmas if it's just for you? 

I am 58 and my health is failing

Real blood in the ink? Like actually?

It’s true.

Just read up a little bit on it. That's crazy cool! Looks like they beat Lil Nas X 40 years to the punch.

It was well-publicised at the time, of course.  A bit of controversial marketing.

Thanks for sharing your story @John Worley

I bought that book off the stands.  I was in 8th grade, I believe.  Even then, I heard about the blood -- I am embarrassed I was scared to read it thinking I might get some disease.  Alas, I have always been a germophobic. I actually had it graded some time ago.  I think I read about the blood in one of those Marvel Scholastic mags like Dynamite.  My copy in the spoiler

Merry Christmas Everybody! When I found a copy on the spinner rack I was immediately taken by it. I still remember looking at it and thinking....WOW. I wish I still had that copy but the memory of finding the book that day and the joy I felt will never leave.
