Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible moderate handling wear including spine stress ticks that may break color, slight corner blunting on the bottom right, and minor superficial sculling on the polybag which may obscure the true surface gloss. The cover appears generally flat but shows signs of shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $35.00; Graded (9.8): $150.00 - $250.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-to-high grade typically sell for $20-$40 due to scarcity. This series was famously cancelled by Capcom after only three issues, making the final issue highly sought after by collectors.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if the book is cleanable/pressable to a 9.6 or higher. The series has a niche but dedicated following due to its short print run and the Capcom cancellation controversy.
Notable Features
Final issue of the Malibu series; scarce due to low print run and immediate cancellation/withdrawal; featuring a crossover with Malibu's 'The Ferret' character.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Malibu Comics production from 1993. Features characteristic 'Malibu Sun' logo and era-appropriate price box ($2.95 USD / $3.70 CAN). Paper stock and color registration appear consistent with original printer standards.
