Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. Slight corner blunting on the bottom right. Light surface scuffing visible on the dark background areas near the top left corner.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales average $5.00 for mid-to-high grade copies. Graded copies of this specific issue have low market volume, often appearing in bulk lots with other Ultraverse titles.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading fees exceeds the current market value of the comic. Even a 9.8 grade would unlikely yield a profit after shipping and fees.
Notable Features
Includes a flip-side feature of 'The Strangers'. Features artwork by Batman artist Norm Breyfogle. Part of the specialized 1990s Malibu Ultraverse imprint before the Marvel acquisition.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Malibu Comics copper age publication. Proper 'M' logo placement, correct $2.50 price point for the era, and standard glossy finish typical of the publisher's 1994 output.
