scburdet Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I was going to participate in a Captain Marvel 26 challenge on here until I reexamined my copy and found a smallish but noticeable water stain on the back cover, so instead I bring you War is Hell 9 for fun. This is clearly the *most important* appearance of Death in Marvel Comics. I mean, if it wasn't the most important, would they have put her on the cover? Twice?!? This one is in my category of underappreciated comics and really not valuable enough to be a great CGC candidate. Still, I almost sent this for a Claremont or Thomas signature before deciding against it b/c I had too many for them already. Tony Isabella is still around, so I suppose that would be another possibility. Secondary question to the grade, who would you choose? Sadly, all the artists have passed on now but this is a really well drawn book IMO. Edited March 23, 2023 by scburdet Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp and grits….sheesh!!! Personally, this would look good in a PC without being slabbed. Keep it bagged and boarded. Otherwise, 8.5.

scburdet Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Also sent to Isabella, again more for personal reasons than added value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 8.5 from me too. Is it the same Death character as accompanies Thanos in the Warlock/Capt Marvel saga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 On 2/7/2023 at 1:27 PM, LowGradeBronze said: same Death character Debatable. Marvel wiki has this as being Earth-616 & lists it in the chronology of Death appearances and the same character in Marvel Mystery Comics 10. Others argue Captain Marvel 26 is the first Death from Thanos. They look the same tho. LowGradeBronze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 Satisfied with this one. I held out some home it would make it to 9.2/9.4, but still within expectations. Of course, no Grader's Notes to know what specifically reduced the grade. Best guess is the bottom corners are slightly dinged. grendelbo, Jemin and Mars76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a MJs edition of this book next. I'll never find one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
