Owner's Description


Punisher War Journal #6 features the 1st meeting of the Punisher & Wolverine!

Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $5.

According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 1,690 Universal copies graded, 860 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher!

With these statistics in mind, this represents a rarity factor of 50.89% of the total population.

However, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY 2-4% of all 9.8s are Newsstand Edition copies!
___________________________________________________________

Published in June of 1989, Jim Lee rendered a stunning cover that documents the Punisher’s historic 1st meeting with the most popular mutant in the Marvel Universe—none other than the Wolverine!

With both of his ejected claws shredding through the Punisher’s skull imprinted shirt with the blades crisscrossed together and forming an “X”—symbolizing his X-Men affiliation, you knew that Wolverine was about to clash with his antihero counterpart, who both made their comic book debuts only 8 months apart from each other—back in 1974!

Jim Lee did a phenomenal job capturing this legendary 1st meeting of the Punisher & Wolverine, and ensured each viewer was made aware of this monumental event with the front cover caption:

MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME—AND MAYBE THE LAST!

In the following issue of the 2-Part Saga, Jim Lee created a badass Punisher Vs. Wolverine battle cover!

COOL FACT: I was the one who vetted the KEY comment—“1st meeting of the Punisher & Wolverine” to CGC President Matt Nelson and the team, which got approved on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, to be added to the CGC label!

In closing, I purchased this PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED Newsstand Edition Variant copy from captainmarvel8 (via eBay) in February of 2023! I am super proud to own this immaculate copy and look forward to watching it appreciate each year!

Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
