Astonishing X‑Men #1 (2017) Brooks Variant — CGC Signature Series 9.8, Signed 03/15/2019

Certified CGC Signature Series copy graded 9.8 (WHITE Pages). This is the Mark Brooks variant cover of Astonishing X‑Men #1 (Sept. 2017) with the artist’s signature certified by CGC on 03/15/2019. The yellow CGC Signature Series label and visible certification number (2489841011) are shown on the slab.

Cover and artist details: Mark Brooks variant featuring Psylocke amid cherry blossoms — a standout, full‑cover illustration popular with collectors and Brooks fans. The cover art is vibrant with excellent color saturation and sharp detail; no foil designation applies to this edition (standard Brooks variant).

Grade and condition: Slabbed and graded CGC 9.8 with white pages — an essentially mint example with no apparent surface or spine defects visible through the slab. The Signature Series label confirms the signature was witnessed and authenticated by CGC.

Collectible value and notes: This issue includes a Shadow King appearance and is desirable to both X‑Men readers and collectors who follow modern variant art and signed copies. The combination of a high‑grade 9.8, a popular Mark Brooks cover, and a witnessed CGC signature increases its market appeal relative to raw or unsigned variants. The slab and certification number are photographed for verification.
