Venom 1 / CGC 9.8 / Signed by Stan Lee & Sam de La Rosa with Sketch

The Sizzle Swing into symbiote history with this CGC 9.8 stunner: Venom: Lethal Protector #1 (Red Foil, Direct Edition) - the book that officially launches Eddie Brock's first solo series and kicks off one of the most iconic 90s anti-hero arcs ever printed. This isn't just a nostalgia bomb; it's the foundational Venom key that helped define the character outside Spider-Man's shadow. But what pushes this copy into true grail territory? It's signed and sketched by Sam De La Rosa, one of the definitive Venom artists of the era, and it carries the legendary signature of Stan Lee, the architect of the Marvel Universe himself.

Two titans of comic history, one pristine slab, and a book that already holds heavyweight status in the symbiote canon. A 9.8 with this creator combo is ridiculously tough to find - a collector's centerpiece with geek cred, 90s flair, and serious investment heat. If you're building a symbiote shrine, this is the crown jewel. Item Condition Slab condition is excellent with only the usual minor scuffs that is the result of CGC's holdering process. CGC Grader's notes for the book has been included in the photo gallery for your easy reference and convenience.

Holler if you have any questions or would like more photos. Thank you and happy collecting! Pricing I try to price my books as fairly as possible based on current market value. Sometimes that means matching FMV, sometimes a bit above, and sometimes you might snag a great deal. The market shifts constantly, especially right now, so pricing isn't always perfect-but I'm always open to reasonable offers and happy to work with fellow collectors.
