SPACE GHOST (2024 Dynamite) #1 (Multiple Cover Variants Available!)
Cover Price: $4.99-$29.99
Greed and corruption flourish in the darkness between stars. With the territories of the Galactic Federation spread far and wide across the vastness of space, pirates and hijackers ransack the distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists living within them.
Yet there is a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice throughout the galaxy, bringing vengeance to those prey upon the defenseless.
Some say he is a policeman who has abandoned the strictures of the law. Others say he is a phantom, the sole survivor of a war-torn planet. And those who have survived his wrath claim he is more a force of nature, able to bend the very elements of Creation to decimate his enemies. They call him the SPACE GHOST - and his adventures begin here!
Award-winning writer DAVID PEPOSE (Punisher) and superstar artist JONATHAN LAU (Vampirella Strikes) kick off this action-packed series with a surprise attack on Space Colony Omicron - home of the brilliant scientist Dr. Jerrod Keplar and his young children, Jan and Jace, as well as their pet monkey, Blip. With the colony's defenses overwhelmed, all seems lost - but these ruthless pirates didn't count on the wild card that is Space Ghost!
This debut issue also includes covers from some of the finest artists in the known universe - including FRANCESCO MATTINA, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, BJORN BARENDS, and MICHAEL CHO!

-Condition Specifics-
NM 9.2+ - Stock Image shown for each variant listed.
-Grading Information-
RPK Comics guarantees a 9.2+ condition of all items listed as NM unless otherwise stated. We cannot guarantee a 9.8 grade on raw comic books. Please review the condition description for this listing and the additional grading information provided below.
-Additional Grading Information-
Comics listed for sale by RPK Comics are assigned a grade from one of two grading scales: the BASIC GRADING SCALE with seven assignable grades: NM, VF, FN, VG, GD, FR, and PR; and the TEN-POINT GRADING SCALE with 23 possible grades ranging from 9.8 (highest) to 0.5 (lowest).
We use the ten-point scale to grade most comics valued $10.00 or more and those published before 1985. Each grade on the basic grading scale encompasses multiple grades from the more precise ten-point grading scale. For example, a comic that we have graded a NM on the basic grading scale, could be anywhere from a 9.2 NM- up to a 9.8 NM/M if it were to be graded on the ten-point grading scale.
Some comics are "slabbed" by CGC, CBCS, or PGX. These comic grading services will grade a comic and then seal the comic in a hard plastic case that displays the assigned grade. These grading services assign grades on the same ten-point grading scale used by RPK Comics. You can easily identify a slabbed comic because the grades will include the name of the grading service, such as "CGC 9.4" or "CBCS 9.4". A comic that has not been slabbed is sometimes referred to as a "raw" comic, which means a regular comic not encased in a plastic slab.
RPK Comics grading standards are based on the standards laid out in the -Overstreet Grading Guide- with additional critiques gained from our 35+ years of experience collecting, grading, and enjoying comic books. Grading will always be inherently subjective, and professional grading services such as CGC and CBCS acknowledge that the same book may not always receive the same grade if submitted for grading more than once.
Basic Grading Scale
NM Near Mint (encompasses all grades on the ten-point scale from 9.2 up to 9.8, with an occasional 9.0)
VF Very Fine (encompasses all grades on the ten-point scale from 7.5 up to 9.0, with an occasional 7.0)
FN Fine (encompasses all grades on the ten-point scale from 5.5 up to 7.0, with an occasional 5.0)
VG Very Good (encompasses all grades on the ten-point scale from 3.5 up to 5.0, with an occasional 3.0)
GD Good (encompasses all grades on the ten-point scale from 1.8 up to 3.0)
FR Fair (encompasses 1.0 and 1.5 on the ten-point scale)
