Raw copies typically sell for approximately $1 to $3 in dollar bins. High-grade slabbed copies rarely exceed $50 due to high print volume.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book. It is a common 1990s issue with high circulation.
Notable Features
Interior and cover art by legendary artist Tim Sale. Direct Edition (Image Comics commonly lacked barcodes on certain 90s titles in favor of logos).
Authentication Notes
The high industrial print run of this era makes counterfeiting unlikely. Gloss and paper stock appear consistent with mid-90s Image Comics production.
