Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value of the book. It is a common bronze-age issue with no major key significance.
Notable Features
Distinguished by the '20p' UK Price Variant in the top left corner, making it a scarcer international distribution copy compared to the standard 50-cent US version. Features Keith Pollard cover art.
Authentication Notes
Authenticity is confirmed by the specific '20p' price box and date stamp layout consistent with Marvel's 1981 UK distribution. Paper stock appears to be the standard newsprint of the era.
