Love Is Love; Harry Potter's 1st comic app coming Dec 28th?

1 1

Just sold another 1st print for over 32 delivered easy.

The stories themselves are really good. The mature ones and more innocent renderings to boot. Eyes def got moist.

I agree, but we never really know what is released.

As far as I know, removing the sticker won't "hide" anything.

The "stickered" over bar code is one thing, but inside, the book will be listed as a first print, rather than the first books out of the gate, which were actually second printings (and they are listed as second printings inside the book). They have now moved on to a third printing.

Regardless, as far as I know, this is the first appearance of Harry Potter in comic print---so I believe it should hold it's own. The question is; Do you want the first shipped book, which is a second print, with a letter from Diamond explaining the problem or the subsequent first print, which was shipped after? The real wild card is if they drafted a new cover for the 3rd print!

--As previously stated though, I am very pleased that the comic community came together in this fashion to create something unique and raise much needed funds for these grieving families. The senseless tragedy underlying the genesis of this book can get lost in its speculative luster....

1st prints selling for roughly $10 more...

Still awaiting the first CGC slab to hit ebay. : )

Picked up a few at Midtown on Sunday, they were 4th print. Good to see it is burning through printings so fast.

Love is Love has been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book.

4th print already??? Wow....

Awaiting the first CGC slabs to pop up, still curious about the label ! :hehe: Won't be easy to 9.8 it because of the glossy cover...

My copy my LCS ordered for me first week finally came in, it was a 3rd print. Hearing about 4th prints, I'm surprised to see pretty much nothing but 1st and 2nd prints on eBay.

We have our first slab, and the label comes packed with intrigue...!

Whoa, "distributed before first printing."

So I guess the 1st print will say, "distributed after second printing."

And the date,"2016". I wonder if the 1st print will just say 2017? 

Pin-up.........

Now everyone can relax. And dump dump dump.

Nah. It was still printed in 2016 so that's what's on the copyright page. It's just distribution that was delayed. It'll be interesting to see which printing is preferred by the market.

Exactly what I thought they would write, glad I kept the best copy of the stack I sold. Looks awesome in the slab! 

Is it in a TMNT 1 size slab?

Not so sure about that, all the books released in early January are printed in 2016, but they say 2017 on their slabs. The first print was never available for sale in 2016 as far as I know. 2017 would make more sense, especially with the whole mix up with this issue.

 win-win for all, raw 1st prints continuing to sell for higher but the slab should incentivize slabbing 2nd prints too.  Only issue is what they'd sell for given the pinup language !

Where's the intrigue? I can only see facts.

And how do you interpret the facts? 

Many questions the market has left to answer.

The date in the indicia is all that matters for the date on the CGC label, not the printing date (if available) or distribution date (if known).
