Quantum & Woody 2017 #1 Second Print (One Copy!)
Valiant, published date: December 2017.
Ultra-Rare!
This is the "CBLDF eBay Exclusive ONE OF A KIND Second Printing" of #1 from the 2017 Quantum And Woody series.
Below is some of the blurb from the original CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) ebay auction for this one-off variant:
Valiant is proud to announce that QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 - the FIRST ISSUE of the ALL-NEW and UNPREDICTABLE ONGOING SERIES from rising star Daniel Kibblesmith (The Late Night With Stephen Colbert) and dazzling artist extraordinaire Kano (Daredevil) - has sold out at the distributor level in advance of its upcoming Wednesday, December 20th release date and will soon return to print with a special, highly limited QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 SECOND PRINTING!
...So limited, in fact, that we're only printing ONE COPY and immediately going back to press for the QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 THIRD PRINTING!

Yes, you read that right: To officiate the imminent return of the world's worst superhero team to comic shops everywhere, Valiant will be producing a single-copy second printing of its newest monthly series debut. In turn, this sacrosanct relic of comic book collectibility will then be entrusted to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF), who are currently hosting an auction of the sole copy of the QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 SECOND PRINTING anywhere in existence. The resulting proceeds from its sale will be used to further the CBLDF's ongoing mission to protect the First Amendment and the freedom to read.
CEO of Valiant, Dinesh Shamdasani, was quoted as saying "We've finally done it - we made a comic so rare that even Steve Geppi can't have it"...."Unless he gets it on eBay in the next week.".
The second print copy was sold in late December 2017 on ebay for $1,600 with all proceeds going to the CBLDF. The singular variant copy has been subsequently graded at CGC 9.8 (near mint / mint) and was on sale again on ebay in 2018 for over $9,000 (but taking offers).
