This hardcover is in new and unread condition and it will be shipped with the utmost care. Best of all, it is signed by hand by legendary comics creator Jim Starlin (creator of Thanos, architect of the Infinity Gauntlet saga, and the writer and/or artist and/or creator of such classics as The Death of Captain Marvel, Batman: The Cult, Dreadstar, The Weird, and many more).  Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of Starlin.  It is not a pre-printed image in the book.  A few sample pages from the book are shown for reference.  This is the Aftershock edition of the book (the first printing was from IDW, Aftershock did the second printing- the only difference is in the cover). 

~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: 

Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.  No third party is involved.  Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.  

For buyers desiring this guarantee in written form, this statement guarantees that the above referenced item is as stated in the listing description.  A screen capture of the completed auction page, which includes this statement of provenance, may be saved by the buyer as a digital file or print off in hardcopy form.  As this serves as written proof of said guarantee, no physical documentation will be included in the package when the item is mailed.
