Description: Thank you for checking out this offer! Offered for your consideration is ICON #1 (1993). Published by DC Comics in May 1993. This is CBCS 9.0 VF/NM. Polybagged with card - "By Their Own Bootstraps" In 1839, an alien starliner malfunctioned and exploded. A jettisoned life pod crashed in a cotton field in the Deep South. The pod was equipped with a unique survival mechanism that was programmed to configure its passengers genetic structure to match whatever life form it first encountered. And so it happened that Miriam, the slave who discovered the pod, found inside a baby boy with her mothers eyes. Today, the alien is still alive, in the guise of successful attorney Augustus Freeman IV of Dakota. Still marooned, he waits for Earths technology to catch up to his life pods. Secretly possessing superpowers, he quietly helps people in need, until recent events in the city of Dakota - and the arguments of a certain opinionated young woman - compel him to become more than just a silent friend to the community. He dons a costume to become Icon, the hero of Dakota. Written by Dwayne McDuffie, with art by Mark Bright and Mike Gustovich. Cover by Denys Cowan and Jimmy Palmiotti. Includes a 3-page preview of Static. Contains a 13" x 20" 4-color poster of the cover, a trading card produced in cooperation with SkyBox International, and one set of a 4-part, 16-piece color mural. Cover Artist: Denys Cowan Artist: M. D. Bright Writer: Dwayne McDuffie This comic is CBCS Graded 9.0 with reference for the grading notes as 21-16791E2-009. Graders Notes https://www.cbcscomics.com/grading-notes/21-16791E2-009 CGC/CBCS/PGX Cases We make every effort to disclose non-trivial damage to the holders, but minor imperfections such as light surface wear or slight inner well scuffing (present at the time of encapsulation) are common straight from CGC/CBCS/PGX. Newton Rings are also extremely common in newly slabbed CGC books (CGC tried to better protect the books by sandwiching them tighter in the cases, but as a result, a very large portion of newly slabbed books have some degree of rings). If you have any questions about the condition of the holder/case please message us. TERMS OF SALE You will only receive what is shown in the photos in the listing. If it is NOT shown, then it is NOT included. Unless a bulk lot is shown, in which case a single issue picture may be used to demonstrate the relative quality of the product you are purchasing. All sales are final, BUT if you have an issue with your order when you receive it. CONTACT US WITHIN 7 BUSINESS DAYS. Please don't wait to contact us, we have a limited amount of time to give refunds/credits and reclaim our eBay fees. PLEASE DO NOT just return the item. Wait for a response from us with instructions as to what your options are. Contact us via the eBay messaging system. We will not respond to other forms of email sent to us. Our return policy varies depending on the issue. SHIPPING POLICIES How we ship - GENERALLY, WE SHIP BY MEDIA RATE MAIL. MEDIA RATE MAIL CAN TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY. PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL ASKING WHEN YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP OR FOR TRACKING INFORMATION UNLESS YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR ORDER AFTER 4 WEEKS SINCE PAYMENT WAS MADE. Substitutions - In some cases we may substitute First class mail, FedEx or UPS. We often make those decisions based upon price and estimated time for delivery. We strive to keep shipping prices as low as possible which means that longer shipping times may be the result. If you absolutely need an item within a certain amount of time, please contact us so we can make proper accommodations in both shipping and charges. You explicitly grant us the right to substitute shipping without adjustment to the final price. We are happy to help you combine shipping by holding books for multiple weeks. ALL BOOKS MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER RECEIVING INVOICE. Just pay the bid amount of the comic(s) that you win, and let us know that you want them held to help save on shipping! Please wait for an invoice from us because refunding shipping actually costs money through eBay. If you just pay as you win auctions rather than waiting for a combined invoice, we will assume you want each order shipped/packaged uniquely. GRADED COMIC SHIPPING We wrap and package each graded comic individually. You will appreciate the care we take when shipping a certified graded comic. We actually use boxes specifically sized for the kind of shipping involved in getting a graded comic into your hands in the same condition as it left us. The shipping price for graded comics really is about as low as we can make it when considering eBay takes a cut, the boxes and packaging are expensive and then of course carrier rates. $9.25 FEEDBACK If you have a problem with your order, please contact us BEFORE leaving feedback. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and will work with you to resolve the issue in a positive manner. We will not issue credits or refunds unless you contact us first. As a general rule, we do not leave feedback until after you receive your package. We appreciate reciprocal feedback from everyone. RATINGS We strive for a 5+ positive experience on every transaction. Please keep in mind that shipping costs are not controlled by us, the rates are established by eBay and the carriers. If you feel like our shipping price is high, please consider that eBay takes about 15% of the shipping charge right off the top, then there are packaging supplies necessarily used to ensure that your package arrives undamaged. Finally, there are the carrier fees - which can be crazy expensive. If you cannot leave 5+ on every category, please contact us PRIOR to leaving feedback. ABOUT US We are a family run business. We buy and sell unique items on Ebay and other online sites. We are not experts on some items. We do our best to list and describe to the best of our ability. If an error in the description was made, it is because we are only human. Over the past few years that we have doing this, we have had great experiences with people from all over country. We hope to duplicate that experience with you. BID/PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE We want you to be 100% satisfied. If you have any concerns/questions just get in touch with us and we will work it out until you are satisfied - including a full refund. CONTACT US Please be advised that we may not be able to answer your eBay listing question prior to the end of the auction if it is sent after normal business hours, holidays or weekends. We are on MST zone. We are closed nights, weekends and major holidays. We will do our best to answer general questions after that time; but item specific questions may not be answered completely if sent within a few hours of the end of an auction since we cannot physically get to the item to answer your question.
