Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
The comic is enclosed in an older plastic bag with tape residue and wrinkling. The book itself shows heavy wear including notable spine roll, multiple spine stress ticks breaking color, heavy corner blunting and creasing at the bottom right, edge wear, and surface scuffing on the cover gloss. There is potential toning to the interior newsprint typical of books from this era.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $3 to $10 USD. Graded value is not cost-effective due to low market demand and low grade.
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for mid-to-low grade copies of this issue typically range from $2 to $8 depending on platform and shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS). The grading and slab fees would far exceed the market value of the book in a Very Good condition.
Notable Features
Features a striking cover artwork by renowned British comic artist Brian Bolland. Direct edition with a UPC barcode box replaced by a square graphic.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1980s DC printing characteristics, including newsprint paper stock, standard staple placement, and proper color separation typical of DC Comics from May 1987.
