Life Of Captain Marvel #1 Artgerm Virgin Variant

THE DEFINITIVE ORIGIN OF CAPTAIN MARVEL!

Carol Danvers was just a girl from the Boston suburbs who loved science and the Red Sox until a chance encounter with a Kree hero gave her incredible super-powers. Now, she's a leader in the Avengers and the commander of Alpha Flight. But what if there were more to the story? When crippling anxiety attacks put her on the sidelines in the middle of a fight, Carol finds herself reliving memories of a life she thought was far behind her. You can't outrun where you're from - and sometimes, you HAVE to go home again. But there are skeletons in Captain Marvel's closet - and what she discovers will change her entire world. Written by best-selling author Margaret Stohl and drawn by fan-favorite comics veteran Carlos Pacheco, this is the true origin of Captain Marvel.

In mid-September 2018, CGC had five recorded gradings for the Lau "Virgin" Edition with three at the top grade of 9.8, one at 9.6 and a very curious 0.5 (Poor) grade on a Restored label.

In the same timeframe, a near mint raw copy could be picked up for between $130 and $200, although a small number had sold for more.
