Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it's a guaranteed 9.8 candidates. This copy's spine stress and corner wear suggest a 9.0 to 9.2, making the cost of grading higher than the value added. Pressing would help the spine ticks.
Notable Features
First issue of Lady Death's first self-titled miniseries. Features iconic Adam Hughes cover art. Chaos! Comics gold logo on black background is prone to showing wear.
Authentication Notes
First printing lacks subsequent printing marks in the indicia. The paper stock for this era is prone to tanning but this copy appears white. Staple placement is correct for mid-90s Chaos! production.
