Engorged? The one shot that started the series was gigantic. Actually there was a Gigantic series as well.
I can’t wait for the “big announcement” to be revealed that the sequel has been named "Turgid and Swollen"

Nice! That’s the king of the negative space variants in my book.
Really pumped to have my first Golden Age / Schomburg! It was one of those deals where you just can’t say no… really unbelievable

Yes it’s something you just don’t see every day… feel really lucky to have come across it. And the resto is just a bit of glue at a staple and some tape on the back. Easy to convert to blue if I ever wanted to.

That shouldn’t even be purple label especially for a golden age book. The tape and staple don’t even count as restoration these days just grade reductions. The glue is harder to get around but usually just a notation on a golden age book or at very least conserved grade as there is no trim or color touch.

Totally agree with Alana.

That’s interesting. This was graded in 2018. I know that CGC has made changes with regard to how they view tape since then. Maybe glue too?
Send it in to CBCS and get a blue label….even if it’s conservation.
Beautiful! Congrats, I have a 7.5 & 8.5. Love this book.
I really like that book…need to find me one.
Beautiful book. I met Steranko once and had him sign that issue & he said it was among his very favorite creations. Gratz!!!
