The Preacher #1 in context
Why collectors care
Preacher #1 (1995) is the first appearance of Jesse Custer, Tulip, and Cassidy, launching the acclaimed Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon Vertigo series. It is a beloved modern key.
How to identify it
A 1995 first printing from DC/Vertigo. Later printings exist; confirm the first-print indicia.
Common mistakes
Later printings are sold as firsts; check the indicia. The trade collection is not the single issue.
Grade considerations
High-grade first-printing copies are scarcer than the era suggests. Spine and corner wear are the usual grade-limiters.
