Captain America Jam 6/17/2007 Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America 3 Signature 9.6 9 Different perspectives of Captain America. Signed and Sketched by Brandon on 6/9/2007. & BY Wegner, Quinn, Nguyen, Reilly, Gaydos, Gunner, Broglia, & Macdonald on 6/17/2007 Now that there is a better CGC label that can do front and back, I wish there was a way to restore the full artist names.... That might be worth looking into, I was able to do it with a magazine but then again I already knew all the names in it.

Red Skull: Mark Texeira 11/18/2007 Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America 3 Signature 9.0 This was a eBay pickup years ago. I have debated off and on for years about getting the actor who played red skull to sign it. Part of me doesn't want to lose the history of the slab. Sixteen years so far it has survived in the slab. Plus, it's a water color so not sure if the paint will affect the plastic being peeled away from it like paint pens can...

Reed Richards Pencil Stretching DALE EAGLESHAM ON 9/12/10 The Marvels Project 1 9.8 This was a eBay pickup back in the day when you could get a sketch cover with shipping for around $30.

Sketch By Dale Eaglesham on 9/12/10 & CGC graded on 11/24/10. I love how it has the effect of Reed Richards stretching. This one has the distinction of missing the artist signature which drives me nuts as I haven't seen his name on the roster for conventions well ever.

Then a few months as a reserve auction. One day, they lowered the reserve to $200 and I won. They shared later that Arthur Suydam did this commission for them at home and he paid over $2,000 for it. It was the time that Arthur was getting negative press for events at comic shows so I believe I bought at the right time!

Wolverine Remarque Herb Trimpe on 2/25/15 Incredible Hulk 159 Signature 6.0 Signed and sketched by Herb Trimpe on 2/25/15
Little wolverine head sketch.

This was purchased off of eBay shortly after Herb's death. It was being sold by his agent on behalf of Herb's wife. He stated the books he was selling had been Herb's personal books that he remarqued and CGC'd because he had so may requests at conventions and figured it be easier to sell them at his booth. I was going to see him at his last show in New Jersey but it was a near blizzard in PA and he sadly had a heart attack that weekend.

Rest In Peace Herb.

1st Black Manta Cover Swipe: Mike Decarlo 12/22/2018 Nick Justus 2/5/2019 Aquaman 15 Signature 9.0 This was a eBay sketch cover that I tried purchasing around 2019 at a no reserve auction and didn't quite make it. Flash forward years later, it became available again on eBay.

CGC graded on 5/17/19.

Wonder Woman vs. Cheetah Greg Woronchak 3/11/20 Wonder Woman 58 Signature 9.4 Greg Woronchak is a Canadian Animator that now does freelance work. One of his earlier works was Lion of Oz. Nowadays, he does eBay sketch cover sales highest bidder either gets a cover he did or you do a request.

When he does sketch covers for sale on his eBay store, he either does cover recreations of iconic covers, or he does mashups where he substitutes certain characters to make a new homage piece. Having requested a few Scooby's from him over the years, he has started doing a few Scooby based themed ones for auction, but this one is not one of those cases.

This one is a classic mashup of Wonder Woman battling Cheetah.

He has been very willing to submit these on my behalf to CGC upon winning since I have the forms and I have a CGC box at this point dedicated to Greg.

Signed and sketched on 3/11/20 and slabbed on 04/21/20.

Uncle Scrooge Rambo Version: Aaron Benson 3/27/20 Uncle Scrooge 1 Signature 9.8 Signed and Sketched by Aaron Benson on 3/27/20 & graded on 4/27/20. An independent artist in California. Saw this cover on his instagram feed and he happily sold it as well as agreed to send it to CGC on my behalf. He was pretty excited, I was his first signature series request.

What if Scrooge McDuck went Rambo on the Beagle Boys for trying to get his money bin again!

Rocko Wrestler: Scranton Comic Con 2021 11/21/21 Scooby Apocalypse 1 Signature 9.4 Scranton Comic Con 2021:

Scranton Comic Con Pre-Covid used to have two shows a year a fall/winter and a spring show. Since COVID, they have one a year and another under their banner at Hershey.

It is a small show. When they used the Raddison Hotel which this was the last time they used that show, it was basically one ballroom. You walk in a circle, and a couple toy/dvd vendors on the corner as you enter the room. You can physically walk around in five minutes but of course spend time going going boxes and meeting some of the guests.

Way too small for CGC to come in person, and small enough that no CGC Facilitator would attend. Luckily, a comic shop owner under a half hour from the show had been a CGC Facilitator tried out the show for his first facilitating.

Seeing that when I arrived, I knew I had to use Heat Seeker Comics because you never know when a facilitator will be at a show you need in future so build those connections. He has since stopped facilitating as I understand it.

As Darren Auck was in attendance and a few wrestlers I figured I would have Darren do a Rock/Spunky mashup as wrestlers and have the two wrestlers in attendance sign it afterwards.

The original plan was to have Rock jumping off the UPC on the back cover and the wrestlers sign above. The front cover would eventually be sketched by Joe Staton as a Scooby wrestler. Darren asked me to have the wrestlers sign first then he would work Rocko around.

Tony Atlas was first and he agreed to sign...only he signed upside down so I had to have Andrew Anderson the Reinforcer follow suit and Darren had to sketch on the bottom.

New goal is to have wrestlers continue to sign since it is a bit mixed up. Would love to meet Danhausen one day and Hulk Hogan.

Everyone signed on 11/21/21 & CGC graded on 12/23/21

Rocko Ghostbuster: Gardenstate Comic Fest 2022. 4/28/22 Five Ghosts 13 Signature 9.4 I first met Darren at Scranton Comic Con 2012 and had him draw his first Rocko and Spunky in years. Since then we always talk at cons and I introduced him to the world of mashups. He has since done a few prints and gets a lot of mashup requests. So he knows when I come, it will be a fun mix.

This one is Rocko as a ghostbuster and Spunky as Slimer the Ghost at Gardenstate Comic Fest 2022 thanks to the Agent of Slabs for facilitating.

It came back a 9.2, and I plan in future to have Steve Lydic add his color magic to the front. On April 28th, 2022 Chiller Theatre happened which is a staple show for Rich Henn.

The back cover will have Ghostbuster autographs. Rich was able to get Bob Gunton for me who was in the new generation Ghostbusters movie that came out recently. Bob was also the Warden in Shawshank Redemption. After pressing, it came back a 9.4.

Bob signed on 4/28/23 & CGC graded on 5/22/23

Rocko Ghostbuster: Gardenstate Comic Fest 2022. 4/28/22 Swamp Thing 14 Signature 9.8 Rocko Camping Mr. Bighead Swampthing Mashup: Gardenstate Comicfest 2022

Normally, I request a Rocko and Spunky mashup whenever I see Darren at a show. I have had this Swampthing sketch cover for a very long time and decided now was the day. I asked for Rocko and Spunky to go camping and to have Mr. Bighead be Swampthing. His only question was should Rocko and Spunky be aware that the danger is there or just before they found out.

I asked for the second where they hadn't seen the danger yet.

Sketched by Darren on 7/9/22 & graded by CGC on 08/26/22.

Mr. Freeze Freezes Batman: Nick Justus 12/1/22 Detective Comics 1027 Signature 9.8 Mr. Freeze stands before a Batman stuck in a giant block of ice with his two polar bear guards behind him. Nick Justus was offering this up for sale on his eBay page to the highest bidder. After bidding, I asked if he would be wiling to send to CGC.

Nick sent it off to CGC for me. I was surprised by how thick the book and slab was, I didn't realize it was an oversized comic.
