Secret Wars 8 Grade Bump.
This comic taunted me for years. I cracked it from the slab, faced deep creases, spine ticks, and dull colors—and pressed, cleaned, and restored it step by step. From 8.0 to 8.5, it’s not just a grade bump—it’s a win in patience, precision, and pride. A true restoration journey.

[98 Origins] Taskmaster The Marvel Menace
Taskmaster, aka Tony Masters, is Marvel’s ultimate mimic, able to replicate any physical move he sees. But his gift comes at a cost: each new skill erases part of his memory. Once a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, now a mercenary caught between heroism and villainy, he’s trained both Avengers and criminals alike. His tragic 2010 solo series reveals a man who remembers every technique—but forgets who he is. More than a villain, Taskmaster is a walking paradox.
