Swords of the Round Table #1 (2024) — Original Hand‑Inked Jedi Grand Master Yoda Sketch Cover by Gerlich, Signed

Near‑Mint, raw (ungraded) single issue with a one‑of‑a‑kind, hand‑inked original sketch cover by Gerlich. This is an original black‑and‑white ink drawing applied directly to the comic’s cover stock — not a factory printed or mass‑produced variant. The cover features confident linework, controlled cross‑hatching and bold outlines depicting a small, grand‑master–style figure holding a lightsaber‑style sword. The artist signed “Gerlich” and dated the cover “2024.”

Cosmetic condition: Near‑Mint overall. The book has been stored in a clear protective sleeve and shows only very minor surface imperfections visible under close inspection that do not affect presentation. The interior credits list Gerlich, Sanzone, and Poon. There is no foil stamping or printed variant text on the cover — this is a true original sketch cover.

Documentation & provenance: A Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) accompanies the book to verify the signature and date, providing documented provenance for display or resale. The signature on the cover matches the dated artwork.

Collectible value & notes: This single, unique artist cover is particularly desirable to sketch‑cover collectors, modern indie series collectors, and buyers who prioritize original art and direct artist connection over factory variants. Because the book is raw and ungraded, market value should be considered with that in mind; the included CoA and clear artist signature/date strengthen provenance for collectors who wish to keep it raw or submit to a grading service later. Stored in a protective sleeve for excellent display quality.
