Recent Sales
French Sagédition issues from the late 1970s typically sell for 5-15 Euros in raw condition; high-grade copies of key issues (like Ragman appearances) can reach higher prices to specialist collectors.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. While it features the early appearance of Ragman, the market for foreign language editions is smaller than US originals, and the condition is not high enough to justify the cost of encapsulation.
Notable Features
French language edition. Features the first French appearance of Ragman (Nouvel héros : RAGMAN!). Cover art is a recolored and modified version of Detective Comics #466.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Sagédition printing. Correct logo placement and 'N° 75' designation characteristic of the French series from this era. Paper stock appears to be the standard newsprint used in European imports of the 1970s.
