Recent Sales
Recent raw sales average around $5 for mid-to-high grade copies. Graded copies (9.6+) occasionally sell for higher, but the market for this specific issue is relatively flat.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading would exceed the market value of the comic. It is a common back-issue without significant key status.
Notable Features
Features a team-up between Superman and the Hawks. Contains a backup story featuring 'The New' DC logo promotion. This is the Direct Edition (denoted by the logo in place of a barcode).
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1984 copper-age DC publication. Paper stock shows age-appropriate slight yellowing on edges. Staple placement and ink density are consistent with DC printing standards of the era.
