geodude48 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Newbie I am. I have a publishers copy (no newsstand price) of Fantagor 1. I would like to learn more about what I have before I make any decisions on grading or selling. I was given this comic in 1970 by someone that worked for the publisher and it appears to be autographed by the author, RIchard Corben. Is there anyone out there that can converse with me?

steveinthecity Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 It’s a 1st printing and there’s 18 of them already on the census if that’s any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for getting me started. Next thing to know is the author signature on all first printings or not? I have seen a second printing and it was not there. Are there images of the foreword of other copies? If it is a real autograph and I get mine graded, it will be in a sealed case and the autograph could not be viewed.

steveinthecity Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 This is the inside front cover sans signature. Also fwiw, MCS lists the print run at 1500 copies, but no sure where that info comes from. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=477931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geodude48 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 More great information, it is much appreciated. Now I need to get an approximate value. I will need to think on this a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
