scburdet Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Been sitting on this one for a while b/c I think it misses the cut of doing anything with it. It might be the first Brother Voodoo/WWBN crossover, and it is where I learned about Marvel's clever workaround for the CCA ban on 'zombie" by using 'zuvembie'. Clearly totally different undead beings. Love the cover & have been looking (unsuccessfully) for an upgrade for a while. Closest I've found is a CGC 9.4 30¢ variant that MCS has an asking price way more than I'm willing to drop. I do not play the 30¢ variant game. Anyhow, the corners are a bit curly, I think that could be flattened out, but there's a tear & a light crease above the O in GROUP. I think the tear is really hard to see in the photo, so I put in an arrow to show where it is. Your eyes may be better than mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidShredder Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Looks like an 8.5er to me. I don't think the tear is a big deal here. The crease matters the most I think. What would you measure it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidShredder Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yeup. 8.5. Don't see it lower than a 8 and don't see it hitting a 9. Still a nice book! scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchunn3 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 The map of Haiti has Xes and a circle on it in the left panel, then are all gone in the right panel. Did they erase all that between two panels? I am suspicious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowGradeBronze Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 7.5 and once suitably smoothed/flattened should go a little higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
