Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended if the goal is resale. Peach Momoko's 'The Crow' variants are highly collectible, and the 'Virgin' (textless) treatment maximizes the appeal. A 9.8 candidate significantly increases liquidity and value.
Notable Features
First issue of the Lethe limited series. Features highly sought-after cover art by Peach Momoko. This specific version is a 'Virgin' cover, meaning it lacks a title, UPC, and trade dress, highlighting the artwork.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with IDW modern printing standards. The signature art style of Peach Momoko and the specific Comic Kingdom of Canada distribution markers (likely on the back or interior) confirm authenticity.
