Description: Tales of the Teen Titans #44 truly has it all... spectacular art via George Perez and a grand story written by Marv Wolfman (contained within one of the Teen Titans most celebrated Story arcs "The Judas Contract"), featuring the debut of the Mutant Jericho, the Origin of one of the Titans (and, for that matter, the DC Universes) most popular villains... Deathstroke the Terminator... AND the very first appearance of Dick Graysons new persona NIGHTWING! This rare, amazing NEWSSTAND EDITION(!), comic book is graded 9.6 Near Mint+ (WHITE Pages), by the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) and comes with the unique Certification Number 4456752022. This 1st Print, 1st Edition, Freshly Slabbed (just back from CGC!), KEY Issue is now 40 years old(!), having been published in 1984 by DC Comics and is part of the Copper Age era. It is in a single issue format, in the English language and features the superhero team of the Teen Titans. Don't miss out on your opportunity to own a true piece of comic book history (the first appearance of Nightwing, Dick Grayson)! The artist/writers are George Perez, Marv Wolfman, and Dick Giordano. The cover art is also stunningly rendered by George Perez. This comic book is perfect for collectors and fans of action, superheroes, adventure, The Teen Titans, Robin/Nightwing or even Deathstroke himself, and it provides a truly worthy and thrilling addition to any comic book collection. The New Teen Titans was one of, if not the single most successful, critically acclaimed, award winning and universally celebrated (amongst the fandom), DC titles of the 1980's. It provided us with the massively popular characters of Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and, of course, Deathstroke the Terminator to name but a few. The team inspired several much loved television shows, live action and animated as well as a film, and continues to be extremely relevant within the DC Universe after more than four decades. With James Gunn having finally begun taking over the reins of the newly formed DCEU, rumors have already begun circulating with regard to the role that The New Teen Titans will play within this newly burgeoning shared cinematic universe... once this occurs, it is extremely likely that this already valuable, highly coveted, key issue will once again skyrocket in value and desirability. I am the original owner of this comic book and my home is 100% smoke and pet free. This book was purchased, immediately bagged and boarded without ever having been read and soon thereafter carefully placed within my personal comic book collection. It was well stored and cared for and eventually, sent out to CGC for certification and subsequent encapsulation to preserve its superb condition (9.6 Near Mint+ WHITE Pages! - Not bad for a 40 year old book!). An amazing addition to enhance any collection while simultaneously serving as a fantastic longterm investment... especially since rumors abound with regard to James Gunn looking into possibly incorporating several of these characters into the upcoming all-new DCEU! All photos provided, and the GCG Certification Number included above, are of the actual book that you are purchasing. Some other sellers use stock photos or just a single set of photos, reused over and over again for multiple sales, claiming that they're selling too many copies to take individual pictures of each and every comic book, but I will never do that. All of my listings will always contain photos of the actual book(s) that you are buying. And if the books are CGC Graded then I will always provide the CGC Certification Number so that you may verify it's validity for yourself and this will also allow you to review Grader's Notes, if any were provided by CGC. I do this because I wish there to be full transparency in all of my sales and because I know that I, personally, like to see exactly what it is that I'm buying before I make a purchase. I apologize for any glaring and/or shadows or reflections of my phone, myself and any overhead lighting fixtures which may be contained within the photos. Some reflections of my chandelier may appear as white spots upon the book, but by comparing the same areas in different photos you will see that these spots are merely reflections of the aforementioned lighting fixture. Graded books may have scuffs or Newton Rings (the 'rainbow effect' or 'Newton Rings' are a normal occurrence when two different plastics (which have different refractive indexes) are placed together. It's what you sometimes see on a smartphone screen protector or on the edges of an LCD screen. This is a result of the inner sleeve (which holds the book) contacting the hard-plastic outer shell; the two different plastics have different refractive indexes and that sometimes creates a rainbow effect when they come into contact. CGC does not consider 'Newton Rings' to be defects. They do not affect the grade or condition of the book in any way, shape or form.). Payment must be received within seven (7) days to avoid relisting of the item. I offer both domestic and worldwide (Excludes: Barbados, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Libya, Martinique, New Caledonia, Reunion, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Venezuela) shipping options.
