I picked up a huge lot of signed comics a while ago on eBay. First of all, there is a ton of Marvel and DC signed books, some with COA's, some which appear to be show or store signings. I also got a few more signed books from some oddball companies. Here's some of what I have along with the issuer of the COA (if there is one)
Comics' Greatest World (Dark Horse) (all signed by Chris Warner with COA's from some company called PresenTime, all are editions of 300): Motorhead, the Machine and Wolf Gang
Triumphant: Doctor Chaos #3 (2 copies!) (directly from Triumphant, signed by Adam Post and Eric Shefferman) (comes with a postcard sized print, $15.00 issue price) issues are #05399/20000 and #05384/20000
Bravura: Star Slammers #1 signed by Walter Simonson, Dynamic Forces #0062/2500
Defiant: Charlemagne #3 Clobbering Time #2357/3000 signed by Mike Witherby, sealed in bag with foil seal

The numbering isn't significant on the Triumphant books because the entire print run is numbered. I'm only wanting signed issues with the original packaging intact. I don't have that issue marked on my checklist so I didn't even know a signed version was solicited. Defiant1 |

I have absolutely NO intention of ever getting any kind of Triumphant comic what so ever. These comics interest me in the least. I have seen 9 year olds that could draw better and 6 year olds under the influence of cough medicine with codine tell better stories. Some of the painted covers are pretty cool but even they are definitely stylized. When I first bought Chromium Man, I thought it was going to suck. I gave it a shot because I knew Jim Shooter had picked Polina to draw Charlemagne. After a few issues I realized it was stylized,but powerful. If you are a fan of Adam Polina's work for Marvel, there is no reason you shouldn't like his work on Chromium Man. I do agree the art is lacking on many of their comics. I do not expect anyone other than me to go back and collect this universe. My checklist is posted to provide information. I think DEFIANT collectors should want the poster panels featuring DEFIANT characters. If you can get past the art and the horrid coloring, the stories were pretty good. A single writer named "John Riley" wrote everything, so the stories are very tight with continuity and the way they share or use the characters. Years after Triumphant folded. a "John Riley"wrote a series called "Lost Stories". I followed that series hoping it was the same writer. Although I did not care for that series it was critically praised. I never found out if it was the same writer or not. Greg Fox wasn't a bad artist, but you might want a bucket of water if you are a fan of his work. He's currently doing a gay themed cartoon. Defiant1 |

Since I have more than one, I'll be more than happy to trade one of them to you. Let me examine them and I'll send you the better one as the original bags these came in seem to have some wear on them. |
