Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (CGC/CBCS) would likely exceed the final market value of the comic, as it is a high-print volume book from the 90s copper age with low character demand.
Notable Features
Features quintessential 1990s Rob Liefeld art style. Notable for the Image Comics 'I' logo and the era's characteristic saturation and character design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Features typical matte-finish paper stock for the era, consistent staple placement for Image/Malibu production, and standard direct market lack of a barcode.
