An anthology series featuring three separate stories. This issue contains 'Catwoman: The Many Lives of Selina Kyle' (Part 2), 'Cyborg: The Once and Future Cyborg' (Part 2), and 'Blue Devil: The Sinergy Strategy'. It bridges gaps in character continuity following major DC events.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and non-color breaking roll. Obvious vertical subscription crease or heavy center fold running the length of the book. Blunting on the top right corner. General cover soiling/yellowing consistent with age and storage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7. Graded 9.8: $45 - $60. (Current condition value: approx $2-$4).
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically range from $1 to $5 as it is a common back issue from the 90s copper-to-modern transition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the market value of the comic. The visible center crease would prevent a high grade (likely capping at 5.0-6.0 even with a press).
Notable Features
Features the 'Death of Superman' memorial logo on the bottom left corner. Includes early 90s interpretations of Catwoman (in her iconic purple suit) and Cyborg. Direct Edition with no barcode.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1993 DC publication. Paper stock is standard non-glossy newsprint typical for anthology titles of this era. Print registration and logo placement are consistent with known copies.
