Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for professional grading unless a 9.8 grade is guaranteed. The high print run makes lower grades less valuable than the cost of the grading service itself.
Notable Features
First appearance of Pitt; first appearance of Timmy; iconic 90s 'extreme' style wrap-around cover art by Dale Keown.
Authentication Notes
High-gloss cover typical of 1990s Image Comics. No known counterfeits of this issue exist; the massive overproduction in the 90s ensures high availability of authentic copies.
