Great way you presented this cover, accompanied with the variants and non english version language covers. As far as the cover itself, love the way you had it signed by the creators.The simplicity of the cover works well. All these years later, less is more, still works. A modern grail type piece. Congrats.

Just had to throw my hat into the ring on this one. I'm just one of many to say this, but FANTASTIC GRAIL COVER! I'm a big fan of Spider Girl, and to own the cover that introduced her into the MC2 Universe, drawn by the great Ron Frenz ... I'm wicked jealous man. Great pickup! I'm so glad Spider Girl had the longevity that she did.

A great cover with a nice clean design that is in good company in your collection. What Ifs are funny and the first appearance not only of one character, but ultimately of a whole universe is really cool. The signatures make for a nice bonus. Congrats on scoring it.

While this may have started off as a 1 shot storyline, it certainly blossomed into a full fledged comic running for years. It always starts off with a great story and great art. Congratulations as this is probably a grail for many collectors. Cheers! N.
