Signed by hand by interior inker Klaus Janson (also the inker of the original Dark Knight series) and Jill Thompson (the variant cover artist), this copy of DKIII #1 is in nm/mint condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. A 1:10 variant means for every 10 copies a store orders of the regular edition cover, they are allowed to order one copy of this variant edition. Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of Janson and Thompson. They are not pre-printed images on the comic.
Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question. No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.
