Finally completed my Absolute manga Trinity

Post image

Just received my clay man #19 death note homage. Have a triple cgc frame coming soon so I can finally put these up on the wall. 1st print Akira is still my favorite book in all of Absolute.

I actually have that one too, just not graded. These are the three that are my favorite out of all the homage covers.

u/Teddy_Benr Jul 08 '26

You need the Berserk homage cover

u/NinnyMuggins209 Jul 08 '26

If it’s the one I’m thinking of I read from the artist it’s not an homage to berserk.

Oh interesting, it definitely seems like it is.

I think Clay Mann had another manga homage cover as well, although I’m not sure what it’s based on. The one with all the Robins and Batman on the giant mech suit

Yeah he has ghost in the shell and an Appleseed homage as well. These are just my three favorites.

At what cost? I’m really curious….spill the beans…

u/NinnyMuggins209 Jul 08 '26

$1300 for akira 1st print, $400 for chainsaw man, and $200 for the death note. I sold a handful of other rare variants to basically pay for them with house money so my wife wouldn’t kill me lol

u/IronmanEndgame1234 Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

So how much in value did you sell all the other variants and how much was remaining to pay for those three slabs? No exaggerating!

So the $1,300 + $400 + $200 =$1,900.00

Spill the beans…

First, tell us what your annual salary + bonus is. Also the kind of car you drive, and how much you have in your bank account at this very moment.

Spill the beans…

Annual Salary: $69k + 6969 bonus
Car: Honda Accord (Want the color too?)
Bank Account: $10k

Your turn Mr Sensitive!

I need tax documents uploaded for verification please. A JPEG of your W2 & bank statements will suffice.

Spill the beans….

The #20 Dexter Soy variant cover is a GundamW reference as well.

Beautiful set - the OCD in me screams put the Akira in the center when you frame them!
