Grips #1 is the landmark debut issue from Silverwolf Comics and the first appearance of the title character created by Kris Silver and legendary independent artist Tim Vigil. Published in 1986 during the height of the independent comic boom, this series helped establish Vigil as one of the most recognizable creators in underground and creator-owned comics before his acclaimed work on Faust.

Collectors continue to seek high-grade examples of Grips #1 due to its low original print run, growing appreciation for 1980s independent comics, and Tim Vigil's enduring popularity. Unlike many black-and-white comics of the era, Grips has maintained a loyal collector base, with certified copies becoming increasingly difficult to locate in premium grades.

This professionally graded CGC 9.6 with White Pages presents exceptionally well and represents a scarce investment-grade example of one of the more desirable independent books from the Copper Age. Whether you're building a Tim Vigil collection, assembling key independent first issues, or adding historically important creator-owned comics to your collection, this copy is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a difficult book in high grade.
