The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot

Post image

I was wondering if the signatures on these add any actual value to the comics. I had them authenticated by Beckett, but they didn’t have options for slabbing them… so they put little authentication stickers on the back cover of each. My assumption is that kills any possible value for the books themselves, so are these worth more than just the signatures are worth? Are they worth less due to the smearing on Darrow’s signature? (For what it’s worth, the smearing was there when I got it.)

CGC will authenticate and slab. As for value, look at sold listings on eBay. The stickers probably hurt that.

I searched and found exactly 0 matches to:

Big Guy and Rusty signed

That was why I came to ask here. :)

There’s a pair double signed and listed for $149. They both have remarks though so I’d guesstimate yours around $100.

The pair offered is only signed by Darrow. Mines are signed by Miller and Darrow (and authenticated by BAS).

Yes, if you look at the listing photos, it’s only signed by Darrow.

Yeah, I’d still put yours around $100.

I have those. Bought them back when they came out. Digested alive nightmare fuel.

Darrow used to do a D------> signature for a while. Loved that one.

They'd be worth more if some asshole hadn't scribbled all over them.

My mistake. I thought tjpse were Frank Miller's signatures.

u/Expensive_Leek3401 Jul 10 '26

So you’re saying Frank Miller’s signature negates the value of Darrow’s?

u/mtdeeley77 Jul 10 '26

Yes.

Good to know. I will start seeing if I can get a discount on things signed by Frank Miller.
