Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The low market demand for this specific issue combined with the presence of a price sticker and visible spine wear makes the cost of grading significantly higher than the final market value of the comic.
Notable Features
Features artwork by Val Semeiks and Denis Rodier. Standard DC Direct Edition from the early 90s copper-to-modern age transition.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1991 publication. Typical newsprint interior expected with a semi-gloss cover. The sticker suggests it was sold in a UK or European secondary market.
