^actually, i think sigs can actually detract from the value of a comic, especially if they're not authenticated. personally, i really enjoy getting them, as each one represents a conversation had with a creator while looking over a comic that i have carted all over the place with me. but i hear where your coming from.
this one was my oldest asm until about ten years ago, when i picked up issue 11. i have since gotten my hands on #7 in terrible condition.
always loved this one...
one of my all-time favorites. how i miss the days of a nice self-contained issue...
