Invincible #1 Larry's Variant Clarity-3119

| I looked up Invincible #1 on our boards here and found the following thread: Thread in reference I then wondered how accurate statements were surrounding Larry's being a reprint and not a true variant. I looked up the book on mycomicshop to see what they said the print date was, they say both cover A and B were printed January 2003: mycomicshop But surely typos happen, so with one quick google search, my first click found this piece of info: Larry Doherty's own words Larry states he doesn't expect the collectors market to desire the book as the only variation is that it says Larry's, however it is not a reprint and it is 6x scarcer then cover A. |

| Looks like the cover was also on card stock so it's actually a much nicer comic book in terms of cover paper quality. | ||

| 6x scarcer is what makes it desirable. | ||

| I always find it amazing that creators don't know what is going on in the hobby. You'd think that more often than not they would be collectors themselves before becoming artists, writers, etc. | ||

| The Larrys variant is a second print that was printed after the first prints for a store signing with Kirkman. These are not to be desired unless you chase second print, non first appearances. |

Quote:Originally Posted by jimmylinguini How is that possibly true when every source of information says that the Larry's variant is a true variant? Even Larry himself who says it has no intrinsic "variant" value stated that it is in fact a variant. I sited the information in my OP. Certainly if you have information that counters what I've provided, please provided it. But from what I'm seeing, this book is not a reprint. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Grayspeedster Why doesn't the CGC or CBCS label say the Larry's edition is the first full appearance of Invincible or Omega Man? The first print #1 does but notice that information is missing from the Larrys edition. (its a reprint). |

Please, I understand you are trying to help but you are wrong and causing more confusion then good. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Grayspeedster So the CGC and CBCS label that say the book came out in December of 2003 are wrong? No. MCS is wrong. Please do not make me post pictures and just google the images yourself. |

| Please find proof other then the CBCS label, that this is in fact a reprint. I'm getting this book in a few days so I'll be able to look on the inside and tell. I'll hate to eat my words but I'll do it if I'm wrong. |

| Does the original say convention edition on it? If I had one unslabbed I would check...maybe someone else here has one that is ungraded...seems strange to me if the original would say convention edition... | ||

| I don't see any date specified, so how would anyone know if it was printed the same month or 11 months later? | ||
