Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. Professional cleaning and pressing would improve its look, but the comic is not a key issue.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
Appears to be a genuine 1994 Marvel publication. Consistent ink saturation for the era and standard 'Direct Edition' barcode placement.
