Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stresses; slight corner blunting on the bottom right; minor yellowing of the white cover area; possible surface dirt or scuffing on the bottom right edge. There is a price tag on the plastic bag, not the book, but surface indentations could be present underneath.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10.00 - $20.00; Graded (9.6+): $80.00 - $120.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in Mid-High grade sell for approximately $12-18. CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $150-$200 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a candidate for a 9.6 or 9.8. The current visible spine stresses and yellowing likely put this in the 7.5-8.5 range, where grading fees would exceed the added value.
Notable Features
Classic Frank Miller cover/story; Direct Edition (Spider-Man head icon); early appearance of Stick.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be a genuine 1982 flat-finish newsprint comic. The ink density on the 'Marvel Comics Group' banner and logo is consistent with era-appropriate printing tech.
