American Update: DC Debuts/Slab Happy: 1st Deathstroke in New Teen Titans #2 CGC Signature Series
*DC: Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke (also known for much of his career as ‘the Terminator’, until Arnie’s agents said the magic words, ‘Cease & Desist’) made his first appearance in New Teen Titans #2, the successful Wolfman/Perez revival of the faltering franchise. Already a hit, the New Teen Titans’ fortunes rose with those of Mr. Slade as their recurring arch-nemesis, and eventually he went on to star in several series of his own, as well as media appearances in the ‘Arrow’ TV show and elsewhere. This copy is CGC Signature series, 8.5 (VF+) pence printed, signed by Deathstroke’s co-creator, the recently deceased George Perez, on 26th October 2019. White pages, case perfect. Perez was one of the definitive artists of the 1980s, a master craftsman famed for New Teen Titans, Crisis On Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman and many others, and a personal favourite. He is much missed.
