It is the title that consolidated Venom as a commercial force and opened the road that would eventually lead the character to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTodd McFarlane's signature on the cover is more than an autograph. As the artist who designed Venom's visual language, he is the author of the character's silhouette — the mass, the teeth, the fluid black — and his hand on this copy closes the circle between the drawing and the object. The special McFarlane label issued with the slab records that link officially.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertified by CGC Signature Series at 9.8, the book sits at the top of the grading scale, with the kind of preservation that is increasingly difficult to find on a 1990s issue handled and read in its time. A first issue, a key character, an artist's signature and a near-perfect grade combine here into a piece that functions both as a cornerstone of a Marvel collection and as a stable long-term holding in the market for signed modern comics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58053317099860,"sku":"425","price":660.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/425-1.png?v=1793382839","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/venom-lethal-protector-1-signed-by-todd-mcfarlane-cgc-9-8","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
