Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if attempting to achieve a 9.6 or higher for a Steranko registry set. Otherwise, the cost of grading may equal or exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Iconic Loki-inspired (though technically original character design) cover art by legendary artist Jim Steranko. This is a notable 1970s independent publisher release that bridged the gap between the underground and pro markets.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1972 production. Signature on cover is part of the printed artwork and not a hand-signed autograph. Paper stock is typical for early 70s independent books, showing slight off-white aging.
