Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a common 'dollar bin' era issue. Unless the copy is a guaranteed 9.8, the cost of grading and shipping significantly exceeds the market value of the book.

Authentic 1980s newsprint stock. The MJS logo in the bottom-left corner and the specific $1.00 price point for 1989 are consistent with original Marvel production standards.
