Marvel Comics graciously created blank-covered editions of the landmark new Wolverine: Weapon X #1 and gave them to The Hero Initiative to have a bountiful bevy of stellar artists do ORIGINAL drawings on the cover. Each of these covers is an original, one-of-a-kind piece! Hero will be auctioning these off at the rate of approximately 12 per week ’til we get thru ’em all!
A gallery of all the great covers can be seen at:
http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.9989.The_Hero_Initiative~colon~_Wolverine_100_Update~excl~You are bidding on the original pencil and ink piece from Stuart Sayger. Please note this is one of two Stuart Sayger pieces. Another will be auctioned at a later date. This is a wraparound piece, and is shown in full spread format. Yes, this is a relist. There was a problem with the previous high bid.
BONUS: If you are the winning bidder, at your discretion, CGC, the Certified Guaranty Company, will grade and encapsulate your book under its prestigious Signature Series for FREE. The CGC label will not only state the grade, but it will say who drew and signed the comic, the date that it was signed, that it was signed for the Hero Initiative, and all pertinent key and art comments. This is a $34 to $250 value, and you need pay ONLY $11 for return shipping for EACH book submitted. Your book will be sent DIRECTLY to CGC by the Hero Initiative, and returned to you upon its being graded and encapsulated.
If you go the CGC route, your books will be shipped via UPS Ground. Expect 24 days total to delivery in the USA.
