$17999.00

This Spider-Gwen #16 comic book is an extremely rare variant to find. A collectible item that features a 1:50 variant cover and is CGC guaranteed to be signed by the only legend in comic book history to need no introduction. Pop Cultural Icon, Civil Rights Activist, Comic Book Creator, "The One Above All," the man himself... Stan Lee. Stan, you influenced so many of us, thank you.

The book is graded at 9.8 by the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) and comes with a CGC Signature Series yellow label.

The cover features Spider-Gwen and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) as a rose is handed off from Morales to Spider-Gwen. comicbookchris is absolutely impressed by this cover and signature placement.

The cover is topped off with Stan's signature running over the top of the Trade Dress. It was the perfect signature for the perfect book. The cover variant is by artist Dave Johnson and is perfect for fans of Spiderman, Morales, and anything Spider-Gwen. But, it's more than that.

This item, the entire ensemble, is a timeless piece of artwork. Already being a piece of art by itself, there is a feature that stands out above all, Stan Lee's stunning signature. comicbookchris would like to imagine Stan Lee is giving his blessing to these two characters and the direction they are going with their relationship. There is a story here. There is a story here, because, there is so much to unpack here. Truly, there are no ends to these layers. Let's take a journey. Because, at this point, all of Stan's work has led up to this.

Times have changed, in many ways it is absolutely beautiful how the zeitgeist of this nation has changed since Stan Lee started his journey in comicbooks in May of 1941, back then, times were most certainly different. To be extra focus, different in race relations. Many years would pass until this particular variant you are looking at is printed. During this time Stan Lee didn't just lay down and accept the way things were. He had something to say. Using his platform in away that influenced generations of children and adults alike. His messaging was sometimes subtle, and sometimes not in his books.

The year is now 2017, the year this variant is published, and ohh, times have changed. This variant, this one in particular, would find its way to Stan Lee to be signed. He places his hands on it, breathes, and runs his signature across. CGC seals it. On November 12, 2018, Stan Lee would pass away.

This Dave Johnson variant is a 1:50 incentive. It's with these two particular characters that are the breakout stars of today, on this cover, in this posture, in this setting, in this mood, accepted by society, valued among the comicbook community, which makes this particular variant with his signature so significant. The man that touched this one particular variant was no mere mortal, without him who knows. Stan Lee had so much to do in the direction of many of his titles, a true civil rights icon among children who read comics.

Many children were able to read between the lines and see such titles as the X-Men for what they truly were. A love letter to society on race relations and how to make it better. These children grew up to be mothers, fathers, truck drivers, nurses, artists... the rich, the poor. Descending from every walk of life, we all grew up with his message. There is so much to unpack here, so much.

Presently, a movie is out with these two popular characters, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. IMBD has it at 8.9/10, and Rotten Tomatoes has the movie at 95% on reviews. Seriously, the studios are nailing it. With said popularity on the rise, more movies are on the way. The price on this book has the potential going up, even if it just sits here on this page.

Potential buyers must understand that the sales on this variant without his signature still affect this particular variant.

Interest in these characters' movies, books, and this comic book in particular is very, very high. The item is EXTREMELY RARE. So, if by a chance the price increases to 21,999 and so on, don't be mad at comicbookchris. Many things are in motion with these characters. As time progresses, these factors will affect the price. As of right now, the next installment of Spider-Man's Multiverse has been announced, "Spider-Man, Beyond The Spider-Verse". Oh, this is going to be a fun ride. comicbookchris personally can't wait.

If a seller decides to sell one for less, comicbookchris suggests buying that discounted one, as the price is non-negotiable for the artwork displayed here and the history the item contains and reflects.

As the months and years go on, the price will increase and keep increasing. It's not that comicbookchris doesn't want to sell this uncommon find. Call it for what it is, supply & demand. Anyone who looks at this comicbook will know that no real conjured price can be fixed to such an item. Just look at it, "my precious"... Everyone has been warned.
