4 yearsJesse_O (21626): What does a checkmark (asterisk online) by the grade mean? In rare cases, a comic book will look much better than the given grade. In these rare cases, a Check Mark will be placed on the label by the numerical grade. The best way to understand why a specific comic book received a Check Mark designation is to refer to the graders' notes. Example: a comic is graded 8.0. However, the covers are such that it looks like a 8.5 or a 9.0. CBCS...

Bullit is pretty menacing, both in words and appearance. Romita hits all the classic marks in terms of showing that he's a bad guy even if there were no text. It's kind of funny to see Peter succumb immediately to Godwin's Law. I guess some things, along with 'law and order'...
