* ANIMAL Man #1 CGC 9.8 SS Signed Bolland (1988) Morrison Classic (4492277004) *

Description: THIS IS NOT A 9.8 QUALITY COPY. This is a nice 9.4, maybe 9.6 on a good day, at best. It's a nice looking copy...but it is NOT a 9.8. CGC overgraded it. Why do I mention it? Because I want you to be happy with your purchase, not disappointed. I could just call this a "9.8", because that's what CGC graded it, right? I'm nobody, and nobody will take my word for the grade. But that doesn't change the book itself. One of the single greatest runs in comics history begins here. Grant Morrison, Chas Truog, and Doug Hazlewood...all with brilliant covers by the incomparable Brian Bolland...take Buddy Baker from a one-dimensional cast-away Silver Age character, and turn him into one of the most compelling heroes of the 80s. Along the way, the very nature of being is explored, as Buddy Baker meets his creator...literally! This is the second part in the British Invasion Trilogy of the 80s (the first being Moore's Swamp Thing, the third being Gaiman's Sandman.) It just doesn't get any better than this.DON'T WASTE TIME IN THE CRAZINESS OF THE MALLS! Buy this from home, the PERFECT gift for yourself, or the comic fan in your life, and it will be shipped right to your door! CGC cases are brand new, scuff and scratch free unless otherwise noted. I have an amazing run of 9.8 80's and 90's keys up for sale right now! Check 'em out! Shipping: Shipping will be by USPS in BULLETPROOF PACKING. International: International shipping IS available, but it has to ship with proof of delivery/insurance, and that STARTS at around $30-$40US, so please be prepared for that. Attention, buyers of CGC slabs: virtually every CGC slab from 2016-up has what are called "Newton Rings", the rainbow effect made when the outer plastic of the case comes into contact with the inner plastic of the well. The book inside the well is not being affected in any way by this. If it's a "new" slab, you should assume if has Newton Rings to some degree. I have no control over this. No seller does. I cannot fix it. If I could, I would. If Newton Rings are a problem...and I don't blame you if they are...please ask about them prior to making an offer/purchasing, and I will do everything I can to let you know the severity of the issue. Thank you! RETURNS: KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. We ARE NOT Amazon. We are not in a position to accept returns and pay for the shipping loss. We're a small seller, and simply cannot afford buyers changing their minds. So please CAREFULLY examine the item you're interested in, especially if RAW, and ask all questions BEFORE buying. We do our best to over-describe...at a considerable amount of time and effort...so that you know exactly what you're getting. Plus, many of the raw books we sell are LOW GRADE & FRAGILE and CANNOT HANDLE being transported back and forth multiple times without further degradation. However...of course, if there is ANY issue with the condition of the item, if you don't agree with the grade, TALK TO US. We're happy to work with you. But just changing your mind is no longer possible for us. There has to be a material issue...item NOT AS DESCRIBED, a serious, grade-changing flaw was missed, or it was damaged in transit...to return the item. Sorry about that, but this year, we've had too many people just change their minds after the item was sent...and some of them didn't even open the item! After freely accepting returns for 20+ years, we're no longer in a position to do so unless there is something wrong with the item. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we encourage you to dialogue with us.
