Description: X-MEN #140FEATURING . . . WENDIGO!!plus . . . ALPHA FLIGHT Disbands!!!and a BLOB cameo on the last page. A December 1980 issueGRADED 9.8 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!!As of 8/1/24, there's only - EVER - been ONE copy of X-Men #140 graded higher by CGC, and that copy earned a 9.9. Therefore, this one is tied for being the 2nd highest-graded copy in the CGC Census!! (to be clear - this copy's WHITE pages mean that no CGC 9.8 can have a higher combination of Grade plus page color, which means that THIS copy is TIED for 2nd highest grade, behind the single copy to ever earn a CGC 9.9!! ) Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT; (who I introduced to American comics, when he moved to Long Island from England in 1960 - and I'd be HAPPY to share that story with the Buyer of this item, if he or she is interested!!) Cover and art by X-MEN team supreme JOHN BYRNE & TERRY AUSTIN!! plus . . . a BONUS copy of the2019 Facsimile Edition reprintof ALPHA FLIGHT #1!!so you can have easy access to the story originally published in the FIRST issue of ALPHA FLIGHT's own title, to accompany the CGC-graded issue of X-MEN #140 . . . when ALPHA FLIGHT DISBANDS!! See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in February of 2019! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with a 9.8 Grade, in late March of 2019 (AND - as of 8/1/24 - this 9.8 is one of the 2nd HIGHEST graded copies in the CGC Census; there has never been a 10.0, and there's only ever been ONE copy to receive a 9.9! Also, since it's more than FOUR DECADES old - many of the copies that received a 9.8 grade will undoubtedly NOT have WHITE interior pages, like this copy does!!) This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!) Since I received it from CGC it has been stored in, and it will be shipped to its new owner in, its CGC-issued protective polybag.Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning 45 YEARS old in 2025, this issue STILL looks FANTASTIC, especially in its CGC case with its 9.8 grade, specifying that it has WHITE pages!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and evaluation details, and all the corners, edges and ends of the new and unblemished CGC case.
