Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless the copy is perfect (CGC 9.8 candidate) and you have a personal attachment. Modern common issues rarely appreciate enough to cover the cost of grading unless they are landmark first appearances.
Notable Features
Features art by Archie Comics legend Dan Parent. This is a one-shot special. Notable for bringing the 'classic' comic art style to the modern Tomb Raider 'Survivor' trilogy aesthetic (climbing axe, tan pants).
Authentication Notes
Modern release with high-quality gloss paper and cardstock cover. Look for the Dark Horse logo and the PRH (Penguin Random House) distribution insignia on the barcode.
