Condition & Value
Condition Grade

Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks), slight blunting on the bottom left corner, and minor edge wear along the right side of the cover. Surface colors remain vibrant with no significant staining or foxing visible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $1 and $4. High-grade graded copies rarely appear at auction due to low demand and high submission costs relative to value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the book. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the Ultraverse 'U' logo; newsstand-style price listing but lacks a barcode on the bottom left (likely identifying it as a Direct Edition).
Authentication Notes
Authentic Malibu Comics production from the early 1990s. Gloss level and paper stock are consistent with standard Ultraverse titles from this era.
