I want the lego print!! with that said, while in Phoenix during the summer, I was able to attend the Phoenix Comic Con and while there I was able to get my hands on the 1st appearance of AF in X-men 120-121. While there, Chris Claremont was attendance and I was able to get him to sign the issues. I also got a sketch drawing of a "Zombie" Puck from the fellas of '68 comic.

My #109, 120-121 & 139-140 (and Classic Reprints) are all signed by Claremont... just not Byrne
That may be a good thing, as regards the Classic reprints - Byrne uses a rubber stamp to 'sign' reprints.
My UXM #120 is signed by Jim Shooter. I recall meeting him back in the early 80s at a Creation Convention (NYCers know what this is). He signed it not on the cover, but on the inside, on the title page across his credited name. I think that's how it was done back then.
I just recently got into comic books and after getting into a few series like Iron Patriot (which unfortunately ended), Amazing Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon, etc and etc. I decided to look for some Canadian content and well I found Alpha Flight and in my first splurge of Canadianism I ended up purchasing the entire run of Alpha Flight Volume 4, #0.1 through #8 with an additional variant cover of #8 and Alpha Flight: Chaos War signed by Jim McCann.
Welcome aboard! Congrats on that signed edition.Originally Posted by CPReevey
I hope you enjoy those comics.

Welcome to the boards, CPReevey. You picked a great "jumping on" point. All you need now is volumes 1, 2 and 3!
Welcome, CPR! And nice finds, especially the McCann signed version! That is a GREAT one-shot!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
I haven't really been able to dive into reading them quite yet but unfortunately the signed Chaos War is sealed in a sleeve with a certificate of authenticity... So my hunt begins for another copy not sealed in a sleeve.
Oooh that's hardcore. A true Alpha Flight collector has been born. I'm impressed - you won't break the seal!
I just hope I can find an unsealed copy somewhere!
You should be able to find an unsealed copy. Online, if nowhere else (what are your local comic shops like?)

The local ones are small, Saint John (Heroes' Beacon) doesn't have much just a few back issues. The one in Moncton (The Comic Hunter) is where I picked up the signed copy of Chaos War and it was their only one. I was in Halifax this weekend and checked out Strange Adventures and no Chaos War but I did find an Alpha Flight vol #1 issue #1!!! I was so happy when I found that as I was looking through the A titles.
But the search continues!
Welcome to the group... from one Maritimer to another !!!
Try Gamezilla in Moncton... they sometimes have a rare gem or two.
The Flight Forever !
