SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
I didn't have anyone show me the ins and outs of comic book collecting. I simply looked at what I liked and bought it. If I liked it, I bought the next one. Primarily this was between DC and Marvel. I didn't pay attention to the artist or the writer, just the way the book looked. And now all these years later as I am rewriting every single comic description I have for the New Mutants set, this one being written at 2 in the morning, I realized something I have never realized before. The cover of issue 13, where the term "X-babies" was first made was done by none other than Bret Blevins. Bret Blevins had a lot to do with many of the issues between 49 through 83. But yet as I stare closer to this cover I see the style that I became so used to later in the run, including the elusive issue #58.
The other thing is this issue has another first appearance for the New Mutants. This time with Doug Ramsey. Let's recap for this set. The MGN introduces four characters. Issue eight introduces Amara, who becomes Magma. Issue nine introduced Selene, the Black Queen (6), and this latest issue has the titles 7th first appearance. No other title since the sixties has there been that many new characters created within the first 14 issue of a title. Oh by the way, Axe was created in issue 7 (8), the Demon Bear (9) who created havoc when Bill Sienkiewicz took over.
Anyway. This cover is the thrid cover to have those beautiful word balloons. I cracked a 9.8 copy, brought the books to Baltimore and had them signed for a double signature series. It returned to me as a 9.8.
Signed by Sal Buscema 9/7/13.
Signed by Louise Simonson on 9/8/13
Keep watch at the most undervalued title in the CGC registry.
