He's back. Amp Comics is proud to bring the bumbling superhero from the hit '80s TV show to a comic shop near you.

This scarce promotional copy of Greatest American Hero #1 Ashcan Edition—published by Arcana Studio—has been professionally evaluated, authenticated, graded, and encapsulated under the joint CGC x JSA (Certified Guaranty Company & James Spence Authentication) certification program.

• Scarce TV Cult Classic Revival Ashcan: Produced as a limited promotional ashcan comic to launch the comic book continuation of the beloved 1980s cult classic television series The Greatest American Hero. Published by Arcana Studio in collaboration with original show star William Katt, this ashcan issue features art and conceptual work that revived Ralph Hinkley’s suit-wearing superhero adventures for modern comic readers.

• Triple Gold Pen Signatures (JSA Authenticated): Features striking, high-contrast gold ink hand signatures from three key creators:

  • William Katt: Star of the original TV series (Ralph Hinkley) and co-writer/creator of the comic series.

  • David Mack: Acclaimed comic artist and writer (Kabuki, Daredevil), who provided high-profile cover art for the project.

  • Don Handfield: Producer, writer, and co-creator on the comic reboot.

  All three signatures have been cross-verified and authenticated by JSA's autograph experts under the official CGC x JSA partnership label.

• What a 9.6 Means: A CGC grade of 9.6 Near Mint+ represents a near-flawless, ultra-high-grade collectible. The book displays outstanding eye appeal with bright colors, sharp corners, full cover gloss, and tight structural integrity, exhibiting only the most minor manufacturing or handling imperfection allowable in top-tier CGC grading.

• Dual-Guaranteed Authenticity: Combines CGC's state-of-the-art comic grading with JSA's gold-standard signature authentication, offering total certainty regarding both the physical condition of the comic and the authenticity of all three gold pen signatures.

• Permanent Preservation: Encapsulated in CGC’s archival-quality, tamper-evident plastic shell ("slab"), this heavy-duty casing shields the comic stock and metallic gold signatures from dust, moisture, UV degradation, and handling wear—ensuring its high-grade status and unique TV pop-culture history remain preserved indefinitely.
