This Tribute: Stan Lee #nn special from TidalWave Comics is a Virgin Edition E variant produced in collaboration with Pressable Defects, originally released as an exclusive tie-in for New York Comic Con. The issue pays homage to Stan Lee through a highly detailed, multi-character collage cover by Jonathan Uribe — blending elements from Spider-Man, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Electro, and other classic Marvel villain designs into one striking portrait of Stan. This Virgin edition removes all trade dress to showcase the artwork in full.

This particular copy is a CGC 9.8 Signature Series, signed by Jonathan Uribe on 10/12/25, as confirmed on the yellow label. Uribe is well-known for his vibrant art style and for producing highly collectible limited tributes within the indie scene.

The slab is clean with no visible scuffing or cracks, and the case presents clearly. The comic inside shows excellent alignment with sharp corners and a flawless surface. Colours are vibrant and saturated with no visible print defects or scratches. The cover art displays beautifully behind the case, and the yellow Signature Series label adds strong presentation value. This is a solid collector-grade 9.8 ready for display.
