Avengers #1 Blank Sketch Variant CGC 9.6 Signature Series Signed comic book, from Marvel Comics, which has been signed by Georges Jeanty, professional comics artist, who has sketched, inked and coloured original artwork onto the front cover in the form of a detailed Red Skull with the Cosmic Cube sketch!

This is original artwork, not a pre-printed cover, from a professional comics artist, who has worked for Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics.

It has been professionally graded by CGC, the largest independent comic grading company in the world, and slabbed in a sealed protective case.

The grade is guaranteed to be investment grade 9.6 (NEAR MINT+) and this is a yellow label CGC Signature Series, which means that an authorised CGC representative witnessed the signing and sketching and this also acts as a Certificate Of Authenticity.

As soon as the comic is signed, it is removed by a CGC authorised party and submitted straight to CGC for grading and encapsulation, guaranteeing the authenticity of the signature and the original artwork.

You can check the validity of this item and the signature and sketch by entering the 10 digit number on the label at the CGC web-site.

There are no cracks on the case. Any glare is just the scanner on the CGC case, which can cause reflection.
