Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine ticks along the left edge. Minor blunting on the top right corner. Surface scuffing visible on the dark areas of the cover and a small crease on the bottom right corner.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; Graded (9.6+): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $3.00 to $12.00 depending on condition. Very low market volume due to being an independent 90s title.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value for this specific indie title does not currently justify the grading fees, and the visible spine damage likely caps the grade at a mid-to-high level.
Notable Features
Indie press publication from Fanatic Comics; features work by Wayne Tanaka; notable for its take on urban legend folklore.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1991 Fanatic Comics publication. Gloss level and paper stock are consistent with early 90s small-press independent comics.
