Significant spine roll/misalignment showing white edge on the left; visible spine ticks; blunted bottom-right corner; slight color breaking creases on bottom edge; general surface wear consistent with mid-grade raw copies.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $5 | Graded (9.0+): $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically fluctuate between $1 and $4 in bulk lots. Very little high-grade slabbed activity exists for this specific filler issue.

Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$35) significantly exceeds the market value of the book, especially given the visible spine roll and wear.

Alan Davis cover art; Direct Edition (indicated by Batman logo in UPC box); features the 'Masters of Disaster' storyline.
Authentication Notes
Authentic mid-80s DC copper age printing. Correct logo placement, 75c price point, and standard newsprint interior typical for the 'Adventures' reprint line.
