Description: A Marvel Alterniverse title! Instead of the Age of Heroes, Marvels photojournalist Phil Sheldon finds: the Avengers as outlaws; Peter Parker infecting his co-workers with a raging radioactive virus; and President X seen walking with a winged figure! Crafted by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Cliff and Terese Nielsen, this Marvel Alterniverse series puts a whole new spin on the term "What If?" Acetate outer cover. Per Key Collector Comics: Two part story that gives a dark perspective of the superhero influence in the real world, opposite of Kurt Busiek's "Marvels" series, details include: Jean Grey is a prostitute, Captian Marvel and the Kree afflicted with cancer are confined to a Nevada reservation and Spider-Man contracts a radioactive virus from the spider bite. I have been collecting comics for over 30 years and have cared for this never-read book by keeping it bagged, boarded and stored in a climate-controlled, smoke-free environment within a BCW black hard plastic, acid-free long box. Photos are scans of the actual book you are purchasing, so please review carefully for actual condition. I'm not a professional grader but in my estimation I'd say it's in NM condition and would likely grade in the high 9's. SHIPPING: I adhere to the golden rule of shipping: "pack for others as you would have them pack for you." As a fellow collector, I know and understand the importance of proper packing and shipping to ensure your book will reach you unscathed. Upon purchase and payment, I will send you a message with photos of the packaging so you can rest assured your book will be packed and shipped with the utmost care (no styrofoam peanuts here!):Rigid Gemini/cardboard mailerBubble wrapLiquid-resistant envelopes"Do Not Bend" decals on the front and back of the packageFurthermore, when I order comics for my personal collection, I also want to receive them as quickly as possible--I will ship your book using USPS First Class Mail (which includes a tracking number) typically within two business days. I will proactively contact you in the unlikely event any delays arise. MULTIPLE ORDERS: I do combine multiple orders to save you shipping costs! Unfortunately this option is not available for international orders, however. If you are ordering multiple items from within the US, do not pay immediately after purchasing--instead send me a message and I will combine the orders on a single invoice and send it to you for consolidated payment. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Thank you for looking!
