Published by Dark Horse Comics | Created by Cosmic Debris

This is a rare, investment-grade copy of the 2005 debut solo series issue for the iconic counter-culture figure, Emily the Strange. Titled "Chairman of the Bored," this deluxe single issue features 48 pages of stunning black, white, and red art, including an exclusive interview with punk legends The Damned.

Key Features:

• Original Stickers Included: The original internal sticker pages remain intact and unpeeled. Verified during photo shoot

• Pristine Integrity: The book has never been fully opened; the pages remain unspread to maintain the original rigidity and crispness of the spine. See Photos

• Archival History: Held in professional archival storage since its release in 2005. Handled exactly once for photography using white cotton curator gloves.

About Cosmic Debris: Born in 1991 from the mind of Rob Reger, Emily the Strange began as a sticker for a Santa Cruz skateboard company before evolving into a global phenomenon. Partnering with Dark Horse Comics in 2005, Cosmic Debris translated Emily’s razor-sharp wit and macabre charm into a series of award-winning graphic narratives. This issue represents the "First Solo Series" and is a cornerstone for any serious pop-culture or comic collector.

Note on Value & Provenance: While out-of-print specimens of this 2005 debut are occasionally listed on major retail platforms for $130+, many are bulk liquidations or shelf-worn "New" copies that lack stickers or have been improperly handled.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a documented archival specimen directly from the original owner. This is not a "warehouse find"; it is a curated collectible that has been sleeve-protected and climate-controlled for over two decades.
