Owner's Description
Punisher War Journal #9 features a stunning Punisher & Black Widow spider cover!
Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $4.
According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 38 Universal copies graded, 19 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher!
With these statistics in mind, this represents a rarity factor of 50.00% 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 October of 1989—my birthday month, legendary artist Jim Lee created a stunning Punisher & Black Widow spider cover!
I personally love to collect any badass Punisher covers, and when I first came across this particular copy on eBay, I just could not stop starring at it! It was just so damn captivating with that beautiful, bright cherry red background bringing out the gigantic Black Widow spider entangling the Punisher within its intricate webbing!
The attention to detail is superb, as Jim Lee captured a realistic feel of the Punisher struggling to avoid a venomous bite, while gripping two of the spider’s legs with his feet positioned awkwardly on the superpowered web of the Black Widow!
This cover definitely depicts a nightmare scenario, and hence the caption is appropriately titled:
DREAMTIME WITH THE BLACK WIDOW!
Furthermore, I personally feel that Jim Lee covers are still underappreciated, especially within his early Punisher War Journal run, but perhaps that will change down the road? I truly LOVE this beautiful cover and it became the 1st recorded CGC 9.8 Newsstand Edition sale on GPAnalysis.
In closing, I purchased this PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED Newsstand Edition Variant copy from redcurtaincomics (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!
