Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The estimated grade of 6.0-7.0 would result in a market value lower than the cost of the grading fees and shipping. Best kept in a Mylar bag with a backing board for personal collection.
Notable Features
First appearance of Null and Void. Features the 'The New DC' branding box. This is a Direct Edition copy (identified by the stars/graphic in the UPC box area).
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1983 copper/bronze age comic. Paper stock reveals natural oxidation (yellowing) consistent with age. Ink saturation and 'The New DC' promotional trade dress are correct for the period.
