Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading, shipping, and handling would significantly exceed the market value of the comic in this mid-to-high grade condition.
Notable Features
First Harrier edition of this newspaper-style format. Notable for being part of the mid-80s British 'independent explosion' led by Harrier Comics and its founder Martin Lock.
Authentication Notes
The item appears authentic. The print quality matches the 1986 UK independent standard. No indications of reproduction or counterfeit exist for these low-demand indie titles.
