BooZeR's SECRET WARS (2015) Set
Here is my full 9.8 Secret Wars (2015) set. Who would have thought that a nine issue limited series would produce 142 comics... I am now working on trying to turn this into a full 9.8 signature series set. I've been cracking open my 9.8 blue labels and traveling to different conventions to get them signed. Ultimately I think that this allows me to not only travel to fun new places, meet fun new people, but also gives me an excuse to meet a lot of the artists and creators that I admire, and really makes collecting that much more enjoyable and memorable. Here are a few of my highlights from this set and the stories behind how I acquired them, and in some cases, the signatures. Please enjoy, BooZeR - - -
SET HIGHLIGHTS:
Some hard to find variants: Secret Wars #1 - COMICAVE Edition When I first started putting this set together, the Comicave and Travelling Man versions weren't listed here. The only place I found selling the Comicave version was the actual Comicave store, which is in Dubai. I contacted them and they said they had 10 copies, so I bought them all. After subbing six of them, five came back as 9.8s. I then cracked three to get signed and two came back 9.8. Secret Wars #1 - GAMESTOP Edition The GameStop version was listed in the set, but I had a heck of a time finding copies. In the end I was able to find four decent copies and had Greg Horn sign them all at a con. Two came back with a grade of 9.8. Secret Wars #1 - TRAVELLING MAN Edition The Traveling Man version I bought from different sellers on eBay, but they weren't cheap. I also didn't realize that of the eleven I bought, three were already signed by Adi Granov, so I couldn't sub those. In the end, I subbed eight copies, with five of them getting signatures. All sigs came back 9.8!
Secret Wars #1 - ZBOX Edition These two very rare variants were orignially not listed as part of this set. The ZBOX version was only available from purchasing a Zavvi Zbox gift box from 2015. I was able to track down six of them, but because of the way the comic was shoved in the box, every copy had at least a top to bottom fold going through them. I had five of them signed at a show and sent them in to get pressed and graded. Luckily enough, two came back 9.8. There are only five of these listed on the census, and all five are the ones I subbed. I keep looking out for the Zavvi box, but I haven't seen one since early 2018. Secret Wars #1 - ZING POP CULTURE FADE Edition The Zing Pop variant is the same as the GameStop store edition, but was only sold in Australia, where GameStop/EB Games is known as Zing Pop Culture. I ordered the last seven copies from their website and subbed them all. All seven came back 9.8, so I cracked six open and had Greg Horn sign them. He even did a Spidey Head remark on one of them because I promised him a copy if more than one came back a 9.8. All six came back 9.8s!!! Greg and I have the only slabbed signed copies of this version in existence. There are seven listed on the census, and all seven are the ones I subbed.
Sketch Covers: Frank Cho's Quinn-Pool. I met Frank at Nickel City Comic Con (Buffalo) in 2018 and since I love his version of Harley Quinn, it only made sense to get him to do something Harley themed. The Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars blank was one I had brought with me and I pulled it out first, and that's when the idea of Quinn-Pool came to me. Frank thought it was a fun idea and was excited to do it for me. I picked it up the next day at the show and subbed it to the CGC booth. Scott Blair's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1 All-Female Cast coverage homage. I'm a huge fan of the original Secret Wars series from the 80's and thought it would a cool idea to have Scott Blair do a cover homage to #1 but with an all-female cast in his unique pin-up style. He did this one at home and I picked it up from him at C2E2 2018. I think it turned out fantastic! Angela McKendrick's Captain Marvel with Lady Thor and Invisible Woman was also done at Nickel Con Comic Con in 2018. She had done a Star Wars sketch cover from me in 2017 and I loved it, so obviously I went back to her for another one in 2018. There's an awesome Red Skull sketch on the back as well and that can be seen in my BooZeR's Miscellaneous Sketch Covers custom set.
Ryan G. Browne's Sinister Six connecting covers. Ryan had originally done the middle one with Electro and Mysterio for me at Nickel City comic con in 2018. The idea was that it would be a one-off using only these two members of the original Sinister Six. But when it came back from CGC it only made sense to me that Ryan complete the set and add the other four members on some more sketch covers. When I ran the idea by him, he loved it, so I gave him two more blank covers at Boston Fan Expo of that same year and he completed the trilogy for me and even made them a connecting set. I am a huge fan of the Sinister Six, so getting this was fantastic!
