Each case includes an exclusive autograph card signed by Denny O'Neil. Denny O'Neil's history as a writer for DC Comics began in 1968 and he is known for the heavy influence he had on reshaping BATMAN, GREEN LANTERN and GREEN ARROW. O'Neil also created the infamous Batman villian RA'S AL GHUL.
For every 3 cases purchased, you will receive a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn regular sized sketch card from industry legend Nick Cardy or TBA.
Nick Cardy began his career with DC in 1950 with the comic book "Gang Busters". From 1962-1968, he drew the first 39 issues of Aquaman and all its covers through the final issue (#56, April 1971). From 1966-73, Cardy penciled or inked — sometimes both — all 43 issues of TEEN TITANS.
(Due to an illness Murphay Anderson is unable to participate in the project. We wish him a speedy recovery and our prayers.)
For every 9 cases purchased, you will receive a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn and colored sketch card by artist Cat Staggs or Mark Spears on an oversized 5"x7" sketch board.

Fans and collectors will also be able to store their collection in a custom designed collector's album which contains an exclusive autograph card signed by Joe Kubert as well as an exclusive promo card. Kubert's first work for DC Comics, where he would spend much of his career and produce some of his most notable art, was penciling and inking the 50-page "Seven Soldiers of Victory" superhero-team story in Leading Comics #8 (Fall 1943). Kubert served as DC Comics' director of publications from 1967-76, when he left to found the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art.
