Description: CGC 9.6 == 1994 PROPHET #4 / Platt Variant / New Jake Gyllenhaal Movie First appearance of Philip Omen. Only 19 copies in grade. Rob Liefeld story. Stephen Platt cover. According to the Hollywood Reporter: "Action writer Kurt Johnstad has been brought in to work on Prophet, Studio 8’s adaption of a comic book series by Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld. Jake Gyllenhaal is attached to star and Sam Hargrave, the director of action hit Extraction, is on board to helm the adaptation. The character, a man-out-of-time idea paired with a super soldier serum concept, was introduced by Liefeld in the pages of Youngblood, his creator-owned comic he wrote and drew after famously leaving Marvel in the early 1990s. John Prophet was then spun off into his own book, a man conscripted by Germans near the end of WWII and subjected to scientific experiments that gave him superhuman strength. In Studio 8’s project, Prophet is a man who volunteers for a German experiment near the end of World War II in order to feed his family. After a bombing buries him alive and traps him underground for 20 years, he reawakens in 1965 to a world that has moved on without him. His daughter now resents him while KGB agents are after him to create new super-soldiers from his blood."

Sales are final on all CGC graded and encapsulated comic books. Free Appreciation Comic Book Free Near Mint bagged/boarded unread unslabbed comic book from the 1990's if you purchase this book. During the 1990's I purchased a bunch of comic books at Local Comic Book Stores (LCS). Most of these books do not warrant getting slabbed by CGC, and they are too much trouble to sell raw, therefore I've decided to give them away on eBay orders. Once you make a purchase then state which comic brand you prefer for your freebie token of gratitude: D.C., Dark Horse, Image (includes an array of labels), Independent, Marvel, Valiant, or Vertigo. If you don't than I will select something akin to your purchase.
