Comic Description

Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress/ticks along the left edge. Minor corner blunting at the top right. A price sticker is adhered directly to the top right corner of the cover, which significantly impacts the grade; removal carries a high risk of tearing or residue without professional intervention.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00 | Graded (9.8): $50.00 - $75.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $5.00. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have sold in the $60 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The presence of the price sticker on the cover and the visible spine wear would result in a low technical grade. The cost of professional grading would far exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
First issue of the 'In Lingerie' sub-series. Iconic Steven Hughes art style which defined the Chaos! Comics era.
Authentication Notes
Printing appears authentic with standard mid-90s gloss paper stock and ink saturation. Staple placement is correct for Chaos! Comics productions of this period.
