scburdet Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I skipped over this one initially when thinking about Warlock grading candidates b/c I thought it was in similar shape to the issue #66 I have. After taking an actual look, I think this is at least 1-2.0 pts better than the #66, which also only has Him/Warlock in a cocoon. Calling things 1st appearances where the character is completely hidden is the first step on a slide toward chaos and not a world I want to live in.

MrRoboto Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 7.0 imo. I think he appears in one panel as him out of the cocoon. Better grade than mine. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip. I take photos of 1st appearances too, but not necessarily for here since I don't think it helps assign a grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll come back and grade this once I'm done laughing. Agreed. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 6.0/6.5 White books like this make it hard to judge some defects through pics alone. It could press higher. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
