Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks), slight corner blunting on the bottom left, and minor edge wear on the right side. The cover maintains good gloss and color vibrancy, but several non-color-breaking indentations appear present under the light.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for individual mid-to-high grade raw copies typically range from $1 to $4 plus shipping. Bulk sets of the 18-issue run often sell for $20-$30.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading significantly exceeds the market value of the book. It is a common 'dollar bin' era comic unless it were a perfect 9.9 or 10.0.
Notable Features
Features the work of veteran writer Doug Moench. Baxter-style paper (high-quality stock common for DC's mid-80s experiments). No UPC indicates it is a Direct Market edition.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1986 DC publication. Features period-accurate 'Baxter' paper stock which is whiter and more durable than standard newsprint of the era. Staple placement is consistent with factory standards.
