spreads Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hi guys. I'm looking for some information on this book. I have the silver edition of the Shadowhawk Saga Ashcan, I sent this to CGC myself, and I'm trying to find the history of it. I see there is one other graded copy (9.4) on the census, but other than that I don't know if this is an error edition or just a hard to find variant. The gold, red and even blues are all fairly common. I've owned two silver moon Batman/Grendels over the years, and I know there's a silver Aliens, so I know Hero put out silver editions of their other ashcan books and I'm wondering if this is along those lines? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spreads Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I'm sorry, are these your books? Other than the Batman/Grendel I know nothing about any of those four books....is it comparable rarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valiantman Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Possibly a silly question, but the CGC label says Hero Premiere Edition #9. Have you checked a bagged copy of Hero Illustrated #9, or maybe it was a later month (the 9th ashcan, not necessarily issue #9) to see if they're still in the original bag?

awakeintheashes Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The silver Batman/Grendel was a mail-away contest, wasn’t it? I didn’t really read Hero and don’t have any copies, so I’m not sure if the other ashcans followed a similar format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that, apparently limited to 25 - but there's no way it was limited to 25 copies, they pop up more frequently than that (100-200?).

Well, the thing is the Shadowhawk ashcan has three other variations - gold, red and blue (the latter two being less common) - and I don't think the other ashcans have at least 3 variants but I could be wrong. All of the Shadowhawk Ashcans (Red, Gold, Blue) seem to be quite common, I haven't bought any of the magazines or seen any in any quantity to suggest distribution levels between the three....given that there are several silver editions of these Hero ashcans (as pictured above), I think this was a planned release and not necessarily an error (there is at least one other copy on the census).

I don't see any copies on atomic? I see the one at MCS...it's definitely worth grabbing for $5 from them, they say it's the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four versions listed (make sure the “only in stock” box is unchecked). I see the Silver, Gold, Blue, and Red. Is there another color variant?

Nowhere does it actually say it's silver though. So you can't be sure until you get it in the mail.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, there's the listing entry if anyone cares enough to monitor when future copies are for sale on AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
