Description: Valiant/Image Deathmate Preview #199308 Orange Variant EGS 9.8 white pages ser/002587. This is a new slab from EGS with no issues other than a few newton rings. CGC, PGX, and now EGS have all graded these books as a 9.8 with white pages. ***** This is the lowest price I have ever offered on an unglued copy *****. I obtained this book in the Summer of 1993 at the Diamond Distributors retailers sale in Sparta, IL. This book was never in a previews magazine and is a stand alone comic. This is one of the few stand alone orange variants you will ever find, most have been ripped from the previews magazine with their spine torn up. August - Previews edition - ORANGE. 5-page preview (story continues in Deathmate Yellow). "Harbinger of Death" written by Kevin Vanhook with art by Yvel Guichet. Full color, 8 pages (cover to cover), slick paper stock.Previews catalogue from June 1993 contains the seldom-seen DEATHMATE ORANGE variant comic-book! (Which has to be the rarest Valiant comic!)The coveted Deathmate Orange variant also was never made available elsewhere! This contains must-have comics for any fan of the famous Valiant & Image superheroes. Yet, good luck finding mention of it in the major price guides... Of course, any Valiant collectors or Defiant fans and Jim Shooter fans have to have it.The below was a comment from cover price. This was glued into Previews books so its very hard to find nice copies. As of January 2021, there are only 2 (now there are 15) copies on the CGC census: a 9.8 copy and a 3.5 copy. Allegedly the 9.8 copy was procured directly from someone with Previews and it was never glued into a Previews book, whereas the 3.5 copy has pieces torn out - likely when someone removed it from the Previews book. As such, there will not likely be many high grade copies unless someone close to the Previews organization has a stack of unglued copies.
