CBCS REVEAL EPISODE 2 (Malibu Sun)

Hey, my brothers!!

    Here we are again, back at TEX'S Comic Quest, where you get comics news, reviews and info that you can use!! 

    Let's kick off episode #2 of my AMAZING, ASTOUNDING, ASTONISHING CBCS REVEAL!! Let's go into the dark, frightening realm of the earliest days of...SPAWN!!!

   Above, you see my copy of Malibu Sun #13, published in May of 1992, which features a fully realized Spawn on the cover, a Spawn centerfold spread, and a Spawn pin-up on the back cover. This is full-color artwork that Todd McFarlane completed directly after ending his stint at Marvel Comics. This predates Spawn #1 by a few weeks. Malibu Sun was a publication that offered new product information and licensing opportunities for Malibu properties, including Image Comics characters (because Malibu was the publisher and distributor for Image Comics back in 1992).  I called it a 9.0, CBCS said, "Nah, it's an 8.5." I'm cool with that.

   Lone Star Comics (mycomicshop.com), a very respectable dealer, calls this comic the "1st appearance of Spawn in print." Comicspriceguide.com says that this book, graded as it is, is valued at only $21.12. Ebay says it's valued at around $220. Mycomicshop.com is offering this issue, CGC-graded 8.0 (lower than mine!) for a whopping $374.95. Sorry, CPG. You're NOWHERE NEAR being in the ballpark on this one.

  That's all for today! Thanks for reading!
