Ok...I have 2 Nick Fury #6's both with their own flaws. Will have one (maybe both) signed by Steranko in June. I kind of put these both in the 7 to 7.5 range, just wondering if there is a clear better book to get graded? If not I may do both and sell the lower grade. Love this cover - really dislike black covers though Sample A front Don't like the miswrap but it was produced this way - odd staple placing, you'll see on the back Spine ticks, bottom edge stress, top edge dent? above agent, non colour breaking bends bottom left and right - press will fix Sample A Back Something weird going on top right (press out?) and bottom left crease (press help but no fix?) Sample B Front Spine ticks, small tear? above 'N' , faintest of faint creases bottom right (3inches) Sample B back no real issues here |

Josh - From your pics, I am not seeing a whole lot of difference between them (although the top copy seems less yellowed). So I would either get both signed with a witness and submit them for yellow labels (keep the higher grade, sell the other), or if you want something with a higher grade, time to start searching for it. PS - I love the Steranko Nick Fury covers. So far I have #’s 1, 2, 6, & 7. |

It's a Wally Wood cover swipe. | ||

Steranko did the covers and interior artwork for Nick Fury Agent of Shield #’s 1-7. He said that the cover to #6 was a tribute to the EC Science Fiction covers done by Wally Wood in the 1950’s. Here’s my CBCS graded copy of #6 (thanks RC!) which states that. Then, in 1989, Superman #28 did a tribute to Steranko’s cover. |

Josh, if you need another comic for Steranko to sign, I have a copy of Strange Tales #153 (in about the same condition as your #6). Both the cover and interior art are by Steranko (with Kirby layouts). |

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo I think I'm tapped for Steranko books to get signed - going to cost a small fortune that weekend. Fury 6 and 7 (maybe 2 of each) Captain America 111, Blade Runner, possibly Green Hornet #1(Now comics 1980/90's) and one print from the 1973 ACBA portfolio Those and 2 or 3 Neal Adams books and possibly an original piece of art from Steranko are pretty much going to do my budget for the year |
