Hellblazer #1 - CGC 9.8 NM/M WHITE Pages - 1st John Constantine Solo Series 1988

Description: "Jamie Delano and John Ridgway demonstrate brilliantly that English horror didn't vanish with the fog and gas-lit cobblestones of the Victorian era. Instead, it lives on amongst the litter-haunted shopping malls and vandalized tower-blocks of today, a new horror to suit a new England. Riveting, spine-chilling stuff" - Alan Moore The character of John Constantine has already been featured in several comic book on-going series, mini-series, television series, as well as in film, both animated and live action. With several other upcoming projects already rumored, it is a safe assertion that John is here to stay and that this comic book is one that most certainly should be featured (and if so desired), prominently displayed within any discerning comic book collection. Hellblazer #1 is a rare and highly sought-after Key issue from the Copper Age, featuring the first solo series of the iconic character John Constantine. It has been professionally graded by Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) with a grade of 9.8 Near Mint/Mint, making it an exceptional addition to any comic book collection. The comic book is a first printing and a first edition, with WHITE Pages and no inscriptions. The Hellblazer #1 comic book is a must-have for fans of Gothic, supernatural, and horror genres, and those interested in the occult. The comic book is in the English language and intended for viewer discretion. It is a single issue, which features the artist/writer team of Jamie Delano, John Ridgway, and cover artist extraordinaire Dave McKean. This item is perfect for collectors in the Comics & Graphic Novels, Comics, Comic Books & Memorabilia, and Collectibles categories. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a Copper Age classic in truly magnificent condition. This 36 year old comic book has been graded and CGC Certified as 9.8 Near Mint/Mint Condition and as having WHITE Pages (the highest CGC grade ever, thus far, awarded for any copy of Hellblazer #1... so condition wise, it simply doesn't get any better than this folks!). I am the original owner of this comic book and my home is 100% smoke and pet free. This book was purchased, immediately bagged and boarded without ever having been read and soon thereafter carefully placed within my personal comic book collection. It was well stored and cared for and eventually, sent out to CGC for certification and subsequent encapsulation to preserve its superb condition (9.8 Near Mint/Mint - WHITE Pages). This book has been encapsulated within a BRAND NEW SLAB just back from CGC! All photos provided, and the GCG Certification Number included above, are of the actual book that you are purchasing. Some other sellers use stock photos or just a single set of photos, reused over and over again for multiple sales, claiming that they're selling too many copies to take individual pictures of each and every comic book, but I will never do that. All of my listings will always contain photos of the actual book(s) that you are buying. And if the books are CGC Graded then I will always provide the CGC Certification Number so that you may verify it's validity for yourself and this will also allow you to review Grader's Notes, if any were provided by CGC. I do this because I wish there to be full transparency in all of my sales and because I know that I, personally, like to see exactly what it is that I'm buying before I make a purchase. I apologize for any glaring and/or reflections of my phone, myself and any overhead lighting fixtures which may be contained within the photos. Some reflections of my chandelier may appear as white spots upon the book, but by comparing the same areas in different photos you will see that these spots are merely reflections of the aforementioned lighting fixture. Graded books may have scuffs or Newton Rings (the 'rainbow effect' or 'Newton Rings' are a normal occurrence when two different plastics (which have different refractive indexes) are placed together. It's what you sometimes see on a smartphone screen protector or on the edges of an LCD screen. This is a result of the inner sleeve (which holds the book) contacting the hard-plastic outer shell; the two different plastics have different refractive indexes and that sometimes creates a rainbow effect when they come into contact. CGC does not consider 'Newton Rings' to be defects. They do not affect the grade or condition of the book in any way, shape or form.). Payment must be received within seven (7) days to avoid relisting of the item. I offer both domestic and worldwide (Excludes: Barbados, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Libya, Martinique, New Caledonia, Reunion, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Venezuela) shipping options. All items shipping to destinations within the United States will be sent to my customers using United States Postal Service Expedited Shipping via Priority Mail while my International customers will receive their items via United States Priority Mail International. All items are packed extremely well, so as to reach you safely and securely in excellent condition. Your item(s) will ship within three (3) business days of receiving cleared payment. I will combine shipping of items within the United States, and, if I'm able to do so, I'll also combine shipping with regard to international items, so please contact me as soon as possible to let me know if you are going to be purchasing multiple items. I have been an upstanding eBay buyer and seller for nearly fifteen (15) years. Please feel free to check out my feedback so that you may buy with confidence! Please also feel free to contact me with any questions with regard to this or any other items which I may currently have for sale.
