Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a guaranteed 9.8. This specimen appears to be in the 9.0 to 9.2 range, where the cost of grading often exceeds the market value of the slabbed book.
Notable Features
Death of Superman; First appearance of the Doomsday containment suit (cameo); Iconic tattered cape cover; Direct edition with white box for credits instead of a UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
First printing identified by the $1.25 price point and the '1993/2' triangle numbering system on the cover. Paper stock and ink density appear consistent with early 90s DC manufacturing.
