I can't believe someone would do this to a book…

It's overkill as far as I'm concerned and I personally wouldn't bid it up over $1,000 :lol:

 

Still....just for the sake of argument, I love the Yellow label on many, many other books. It has it's place in my collection. If it doesn't in anyone else's then great, I should be able to buy a ton of SS without anyone bidding against me :whee:

Abject yellow label hate aside, having Stan Lee write "I wish Spider-Man meet the Wolverine" on a Hulk 181 is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. And yes the book looks horrible. Even with my yellow colored glasses.

I didn't even bother reading that hideous scrawl. That's defacement then, not a signature.

I really agree. I usually like remarks, and I think the "Hulk Smash" that Stan wrote is cool, and (relatively) unobtrusive. But that nonsense phrase is a real head scratcher.

I agree. Some creators do have artistic signatures - e..g, Steranko - that IMO, can enhance a cover. In general, I wouldn't have a key signed though.

 

This is over kill. I don't have a problem with SS books. Sig on key books are a little worse but with even then I may not mind as long as its done well. Some creators have awesome sigs that look good on books, like Steranko, but some sigs look really bad, like Stan Lee's. That said, I would never do something like this to this kind of book. this is horrible and I would absolutely say this decreases the books value. Yuck!

What you're feeling right now is how I feel about any signed book. Please just have them sign the first page???
There is that small segment of the fanbase that likes to see our favorite Artist/writers SIG on the cover of books they had a hand in working on. ;)

I'm looking at this on my phone, but is it possible the writing was already on the cover before he got the signatures? That some kid scribbled it and the signatures came later?

It is an ugly book.

 

Sadly not, according to the description...

 

Yeah, he paid Stan Lee extra to do that! lol

As a grand finale they should give the book to Stan to go to the restroom and wipe his arse with it with a CGC Witness - "AzzWipe" By Stan Lee!

 

 

:insane:

 

 

lol

 

Asscelsior!

 

 

Seriously, this comic could be worth something if Shatner and Nimoy signed it too.

what other things could Stan have written on this book to make it more appealing (besides not writing on the book)

 

"Sorry for defacing your book"

 

"I had almost nothing to do with anything that went on with this particular book"

 

"So I sez - make a character with claws - boom, I created the Wolverine"

"Game Day Bucket Go Boom!"
