Set Description:
THE SWIFT COLLECTION — INVINCIBLE COMPLETE FIRST RUN
CGC Registry | Competitive Set | Best Modern Sets
Presented for consideration in the "Best Modern Sets" category is the Swift Collection's Invincible Complete Run. The competitive set encompasses every variant published during the series' original first run from Image Comics — 144 issues spanning January 2003 through February 2018.
The set was purchased new from the shelves by me and has been selectively upgraded over time as higher-grade copies became available on the market. Each upgrade was pursued with deliberate care, ensuring the set maintains not only completeness but exceptional presentation throughout — exemplified by the acquisitions of the Larry’s Limited Edition #1 in CGC 9.9 and Invincible #100 Chromium Edition in CGC 9.9.
GRADE HIGHLIGHTS
The set carries a floor grade of CGC 9.8 (Near Mint/Mint) across all issues, with three copies graded CGC 9.9 (Gem Mint):
Invincible #1 — Limited Edition Variant — CGC 9.9
Invincible #100 — Chromium Edition — CGC 9.9
Invincible #102 — CGC 9.9
ABOUT THE SERIES
Written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, Invincible is widely regarded as one of the definitive modern superhero comic runs — a fifteen-year saga following Mark Grayson, the half-Viltrumite son of Omni-Man, from teenage hero to one of the universe's most powerful beings. The series has since been adapted into an acclaimed animated series on Amazon Prime Video.
PROVENANCE
All copies purchased new from my LCS (Past Present Future in West Palm Beach '10 - conclusion or Midtown Comics in Times Square '03 -'10). Set selectively upgraded as superior grades became available. Graded and encapsulated by CGC.
