Description from the seller
LOT TITLE
Dylan Dog – Downgrade (2014) – Rare SPECIAL Edition (Print run of 1/100 with Nicola Mari Insert, Blind Stamp & Editorial Band)
LOT DESCRIPTION
Notice to Collectors / Collector's Note
An extremely rare copy for completist collectors of the Investigator of Nightmares. Not to be confused with the regular commercial print run of 666 copies available on the secondary market. This is the Special Out-of-Commerce, Reserved Edition, complete with the hard-to-find monographic promotional insert by Nicola Mari, produced in only 100 copies.
Rarity and Special Features
Nicola Mari Insert (1/100): Volume accompanied by the very rare monographic insert dedicated to Nicola Mari, included exclusively in a print run of 100 copies (not present in the standard edition).
Official Blind Stamp: The insert is authenticated and enhanced with the event's circular blind stamp (“CCC 2014”), embossed in the lower left corner.
Double “COMPLIMENTARY COPY” Inscription: Copy bearing the handwritten word “OMAGGIO” (“COMPLIMENTARY COPY”) in pen both on the Nicola Mari insert (“OMAGGIO di 100”) and in the colophon of the main comic (“OMAGGIO di 666”). An out-of-commerce copy reserved for special distribution, marked as a COMPLIMENTARY COPY directly by the event organizers for the special print run of 100 copies.
Intact Editorial Band: The original gray editorial band/bookmark (listing the great authors) is present, a fragile element that is almost always lost or damaged.
