The Alan Moore Appreciation Thread 10 10

[Jasonmorris1000000]

I just got the Smax issues back from CGC today and the Top Tens are from a few months back.  I never posted the Top 10 here.  The Smax #1 breaks the 9.8 Alan Moore streak I've been on.

Just got these back in the mail from CGC.  I wish I had double checked the 9.4 before I sent it in

A nice bit of Curt Vile (Mr Moore) self deprecation

Just bought this one off of eBay.  It’s the highest graded copy.  To the naked eye, it looks like a 9.8 to me.  The grader notes say “Unavailable”.  I’ll have to look at the corners with my magnifying glass.  It’d be nice to know if the comic was pressed

Another recent ebay pickup.  It contains a page of Moore prose and a Bissette and Totleben swampscape.

I've got the #3 too.  For a short time it was considered the first appearance of Constantine.  Then it was decided Saga of the Swamp Thing #25 was the 1st cameo instead, which made the price of this one tank.  I'm not sure if Alan Moore did the text.

Grand Comics Database says the script is by Bissette, based on an interview with him in Comic Book Creator #28
