Just a quick question

[Zackrey]

I recently picked up a Robert Campanella signed issue one of X-Men adventures from my aunt, and i was wondering if this thing was legit or if i got scammed???

[The Lucky One]

I don't know... how much did you pay for it?

X-Men Adventures was a short-lived comic adaptation of the 90s cartoon series, and I've never even heard of Robert Campanella... I don't know if he's the writer or the artist, but he's not a big name in comics. So the signature could certainly be legit; but if you paid a lot for it, then yeah, you might have gotten scammed.

yep...what they said...

Well, Robert Campanella is a comic inker. Might be legit, meaning he actually worked on the book. If so, it's stil not much as, well, inkers are not writers or major artists, normally.

So an inker (basically someone who traces lines drawn by the penciller [the real artist]) who worked on the series. It -might- make an issue worth .2 times more than normal.

Sorry it wasn't earth-shattering, but anything in comics these days seldom is. Blame the '90s speculator market if you must.
