if i sent it in i'd be happy with an 8.5 (or higher, lol).

somewhat okay with an 8.0.

disappointed with anything lower.

Great SPOOK 28!  Congrats!  That one is still on my want list of that run (27, 28, & yes the 30 too).

Cover proof. Bright colors. Does anyone else have one of this particular issue? Just curious how many of each cover came out. 

[pmpknface]

I have a few cover proofs, but not of that issue.  I think there were at least 2-3 produced of most of the issues, but then how many survived?  Great proof!  In many ways they are superior to the comic itself.  

[Microbia]

My actual comic of that issue, pending an unlikely chance at upgrade, is quite ratty so this proof effectively turns it into a “mint” one for me!

Here's my copy for comparison....

I've always been fond of this cover.

Right after this picture was drawn, Santa realized there was no way he was fitting in that chimney.  So he went around to the front door.

Nice.  Definitely in my top 10 Cole romance covers.

Thanks!

Just arrived a few minutes ago.  Jumped on this when I saw that one went for 2x this on Heritage.  Thanks Bedrock!

Most likely not the case, but what does the indica say about where it was printed?

[drbanner]

That's a Canadian version I believe.
