Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the book in this condition. It is a great reader copy or collection filler.
Notable Features
Distinctive photo cover. Early work by artist Steve Dillon. Characters originally appeared in Warrior Magazine (UK).
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1986 Eclipse Comics publication. The matte-finish cover stock and aging of the white spine ticks are consistent with 1980s independent comic production.
