Marvel’s Ultimate X-Men #1 goes on sale today, and as the biggest ever mutant cover-up goes public, the true history of the x-gene is revealed causing the mistrust between man and x-man to get deeper. As if this announcement wasn't exciting enough on its own, Marvel and CGC have again partnered to have 100 copies signed by Stan Lee and witnessed by CGC.
Marvel Comics authorized CGC to witness Stan Lee sign 100 copies of Ultimate X-Men #1. Numbered 1-100, each book will be poly-bagged and sent out randomly today in Marvel’s standard distribution. For collectors that were disappointed that they didn't receive a copy of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 last week, here is another opportunity to receive a Stan Lee signed book!
This is only the second time a distributed copy of a signed comic book is eligible for the CGC Signature Series label. The Stan Lee book signing was witnessed by Joe Pierson, CGC’s Signature Series Director. “We are once again thrilled to be working with Marvel Comics and to have the opportunity to introduce the CGC Signature Series to collectors who have never tried this service. And what an exciting bonus for fans who may have missed out on signed books last week,” said Pierson.
Lucky recipients of a Stan Lee signed copy of Ultimate X-Men #1, should contact CGC Signature Series at 1-877-662-6642 to get submission details.
