The listing, War Machine "Ashcan Edition" has ended.

This listing is for 1 Marvel Comics War Machine 'Ashcaan Edition' comic book.

What is an Ashcan?
The word/term ashcan, in comic publishing, is that the printed material will go straight from the printer to the trash, which was often the case. Ashcan editions frequently contained unlettered stories, unfinished art or even just whatever wastepaper had been conveniently available at the time. Their purpose was simply to justify the publisher's claim to a title, thereby preventing a competitor from publishing a similar title. Ashcans were also produced to demonstrate the publications to potential advertisers and retail stores. In modern comics, ashcan editions may refer to promotional comics in the independent/self-publishing market. The term is sometimes synonymous with mini comics.

This War Machine Ashcan is TM dated 1994 Marvel Entertainment Group

This comic is in a plastic comic bag with a cardboard backing and will be shipped in a large, Scotch brand, bubble envelope. There are no rips, tears, folds or wrinkles on it. This is as close to CU (crisp uncirculated) as you will get.
The 3rd picture shows the difference in size between the ashcan and a regular comic book (size of cardboard backing.)
I have only seen 3 of these ashcans for War Machine.
and none were at the last Comicon I attended.
Now I'm not saying this is a rare, scarce, or priceless treasures, ,just that there are not a lot of these around that I have seen in the last 8-10 years.... you be the judge.

Shipping is free and I only ship within the US, no Int. shipping at this time. Local Pickup is available but the Google map feature on the listing is not working so contact me for pickup.

Please don't ask me to lower the starting price... if anything I should probably go higher than what it's at now.
(and yes, it's worth every credit!!)
