PGM SA 212...

[october]

Gorgeous copy, and would be a solid 9.0 if not for one unfortunate flaw. There is an unobtrusive water stain on the bottom spine corner on the back. It wraps around to the front very slightly. It goes into a few of the interior pages as well. Damn shame, but this is going to be my keeper copy anyway....at least until I find a copy with perfect centering.

Nobody wants to take a shot?

Patience, patience! Have a seat, and someone will be with you shortly.

 

I'd have to say 6.5/7.0 with the stain, though obviously it looks a lot better than that. Still a quite nice book. Truly an awesome cover, & I'd never seen it before joining the forums.

I am thinking it couldn't grade above FN with that water stain.

6.5 with the stain. (If it was my book, I'd think it was STILL NM). I think SA Deadman was some of Neal Adams' best work. I remember one of those issues had a tribute to Jim Steranko. Adams' had put in some kind of weird lettering that said something like "Hey look, a Jim Steranko effect." You kinda had to hold the book at an angle to read it. I don't remember which issue it was in, and I don't have any of mine anymore. Does anyone know? Great book, Oct.

When water stains come into play I always take into account how noticeable and obtrusive it is. This one is not very noticeable. 7.5

I was issue 216. I will see if I can find the panel and scan my copy.

 

The interiors in these issues are as impressive as the covers, though it doesn't get much better than this one. The angle and perspective are just killer.

It's an awesome book, and as others have said the water stain doesn't have a large impact on the books eye appeal. I can understand you keeping this one.

It looks almost exactly like the one I sold to you. About the same grade too.

But without the water stain.
