Benjamin Hobbs:
Last week VARK WARS #1 came out, however all the contributors had their copies a month early.
"Manly" Matt Dow was kind enough to send me this signed edition:
It reads, "To Ben, Make VARK LOVE, NOT VARK WAR!"
And it had this certificate of authenticity:
![]() |
Full color and on sturdy paper. Impressive! |
So I defaced a copy of VARK WARS #1 and sent it to him (the insides of this copy can be seen HERE) :
It reads: HEY MATT! THANKS FOR DEFACING A COPY OF VARK WARS AND SENDING IT TO ME! I'M RETURNING THE FAVOR! ULTRA-RARE "HALO" EDITION! ONE-OF-ONE! WOW!" And it goes on to say, " C.G.C. WILL WEEP WHEN THEY SEE THIS COPY..." And, "AND THERE'S A BIGGER MESS INSIDE..."
I included this Certificate of Authenticness:
![]() |
Printed in cheap black and white on the flimsiest paper for easy forging. You're welcome. |
Feel free to print out this certificate and bootleg as many "halo" editions of VARK WARS #1 as you want. If anyone asks me, I'll vouch for the authenticity of any copy. Just remember, each one you fake devalues "Manly" Matt's copy just a LITTLE bit more, so make as many as you can.
Next time: House of Cerebus masthead nit-pickiness.
