Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value of the comic. It is a common 'dollar bin' era book.
Notable Features
First appearance of the second Firebrand (Russ Broxtel). Contains Newsstand UPC barcode which is often more desirable for modern collectors than the Direct Edition.
