Condition Details
The comic appears to be in a protective plastic bag and board. The cover gloss is clean with sharp corners and minimal visible spine stress, though minor glare and bag reflections make exact microscopic assessment difficult. No major creases, tears, or structural flaws are evident.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $3 and $10. Graded (CGC 9.2/9.4) value ranges from $20 to $40.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for 1990s Marvel books of this tier generally command low single digits raw, with graded copies selling slightly above slabbing costs.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading unless part of a complete run or personal collection, as the grading and shipping costs would exceed the market value of a single modern issue.
Notable Features
Direct Edition with barcode box stating Direct Edition and issue indicators. Features the 'Siege of Darkness Part 5' banner on the cover, linking it to the wider 1993 crossover event.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1990s Marvel direct edition trade dress, correct barcode, pricing, and publisher indicia.
