Quote:Originally Posted by Savage_Spawn This is the comic that catapulted Valiant from an average selling indy company to a hot fan favorite that captured everyone's attention. The week it was released, everyone saw it on the comic shelves and said essentially "Wut de hay is diss???" They picked it up and saw that it was drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith inside and they bought it. It sold out within a week and put Valiant on everyone's radar. Since this was issue #10, a back issue collecting frenzy began and anything published within Valiant's first year started skyrocketing in price. There is a second printing which is one of the only single issues that got a second printing in their early years. The cover is black because it represents a black hole. The cover was initially a joke suggestion submitted by Barry Windsor-Smith. Jim Shooter liked it and said they'd go with it and paid BWS for the idea. Copycats came along later from other publishers with solid white covers, red covers, etc. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Despain I've always wondered that too...and I am not sure if CGC ever corrected the label template...because other eBay sales are also like this label. Good post...thanks! |
