Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the current market value of the comic in most grades.
Notable Features
First appearance of the Warheads team (Lansen, Misha, Perez, etc.). Includes a 'Wolverine' guest appearance cover and story. Part of the 1990s 'Marvel UK' expansion.
Authentication Notes
The comic features the standard high-gloss cover stock typical of early 1990s Marvel Direct Edition books. The 'Marvel UK' logo and price box (with US/CAN pricing) confirm it is the standard American-distributed version of the UK-produced title.
