About the item: This awesome Star Wars sketch variant cover is signed by hand by cover artist Alan Davis. The book is in near mint condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature Davis. It is not a pre-printed image on the comic. Signature will vary as to exact location signed but is clear, not smudged, etc. Check out my other Star Wars signed variants currently listed and please see below for important information regarding our provenance guarantee and the availability of COA's. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: 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.
