Description

🌟 Rogue’s first appearance — signed by the man who created her — in Szerdy’s exclusive facsimile form — the Unknown Comics exclusive facsimile variant for Avengers Annual #10 (1981) with a Nathan Szerdy cover, signed by the legendary Chris Claremont, author of the original issue and co-creator of Rogue herself. Avengers Annual #10 (1981) is not simply a classic comic. It is the birth of one of Marvel’s most beloved characters. Written by Chris Claremont with art by Michael Golden, this landmark issue introduced Rogue to the Marvel Universe — the first appearance of Anna Marie, here acting as a villain for the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, attacking the Avengers and absorbing Carol Danvers’s Ms. Marvel powers in a traumatic assault that defined both characters for decades. The Rogue who joins the X-Men years later, the Rogue of the Jim Lee era, the Rogue of the animated series and the films and the decades of beloved stories — she is born in this issue, in this moment of violence that the story’s later chapters would spend years processing and healing. Chris Claremont created Rogue. He wrote this issue. He wrote the X-Men stories that defined an entire generation’s relationship with the Marvel Universe. His signature on a facsimile exclusive for the very issue where Rogue first appears is one of the most deeply meaningful authentication moments available in the collector’s market. Nathan Szerdy’s exclusive cover for this facsimile brings his distinctive painterly style to the reprint, a contemporary artistic statement applied to a story from 1981 that remains as powerful today as when Claremont first wrote it. 🌟 This signed standard format and its signed virgin companion (also available) represent two configurations of the Claremont-signed Szerdy exclusive for Avengers Annual #10.

This is the Avengers Annual #10 Facsimile Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Signed by Chris Claremont Variant — the Unknown Comics exclusive facsimile, signed by Chris Claremont, standard format.
