Recently signed by Jay Leisten and Dan Panosian (and therefore not pictured above). Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of the comic creators stated. They are not pre- printed images in the book. Images are of the actual book and the signatures (being limited to only 24 images, I've had to photoshop multiple pages into single images for most of the above so they would all be available to view). The book is in excellent condition with only some minor wear to the dust jacket. It will be shipped with the utmost care.
