I seem to find so many TPBs'/Graphics for way less than wholesale even with shipping nowadays, so we are grabbing stuff we might not have before just because we can. :thumb:
I trade as Dead Universe Comics in the UK, which is no surprise to those who know of my legendary Dead Universe habit.

For $19.99 shipped, I got the production page for the "International Enquisitor"
pretend tabloid ("editorial page") for July 1990, printed in Gameboy #2.

It's on an illustration board, came with a Voyager envelope for the West 21st Street offices,
and included both of the original photos used on the page.

I laid it all out (with the actual book(s)) for this photo...

Glad you like it. :D $20 shipped was fine by me.

I thought it was a good price since I didn't have a one.
Looks good to me :thumb: .
Is that the poster of the uncut card sheet?

For the poster, not bad. :thumb:

If it's the sheet it's a steel! and it's the rarer (if ever found) red ink one.


I'm pretty sure its the poster ...... but I wil keeps my fingers crossed. :hope:
Doesn't look like it has any folds in it from looking at the pic, so it just might be an uncut sheet. How are they shipping it to you?
It is going to be rolled and shipped in a tube. In the pic it is shrinkwrapped onto cardboard. I think thats why its standing so straight.

Well guys , I've been away for work the past 3 weeks and wanted to give a little update about this. I got home yesterday and went to pick up my mail from my landlord. I totally forgot about this until a saw the poster tube sitting there with the rest of my bills. SWEET

Drum roll please ....... it is an uncut card sheet. I wanted to be sure so i dug out some Magnus issues with their cards still them. They are the same thickness cardboard not paper. The giveaway was the back of the card sheet , there is a little yellowing around the edge , just like a few of the cards still in my comics. I can confirm that this "red ink" version does exist.
Needless to say , for 9.99 i'm very happy.
