Recent Sales
Modern first printings of high-profile DC Absolute line titles command cover price to slight premiums for raw copies, scaling up for high-grade slabs.
Grading Recommendation
Not immediately recommended for professional grading unless a CGC 9.8 is guaranteed, as modern raw issues typically do not recoup grading costs at lower modern grades.
Notable Features
Part of the major DC 'All In' publishing initiative, featuring a distinct cover layout with the classic DC bullet logo and a bonus Vertigo preview indicator.
Authentication Notes
Clean modern print stock, sharp barcode registration on the bottom left, correct cover gloss, and standard DC trade dress indicate a genuine first printing.
