Morbius battles Spider-Man while dealing with his own curse. This issue features a crossover appearance by Spider-Man and continues the 'Rise of the Midnight Sons' era themes.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress and corner blunting. Significant concern: A '50¢' circular price tag/sticker is applied directly to the top right corner of the comic cover, which often causes residue or damage upon removal. Visible glare makes surface assessment difficult, but general shelf wear is present.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $60.00 - $80.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $5-10. Graded 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $70 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a common 1990s issue with low market demand. The presence of a price sticker on the cover significantly lowers the grade and potential value, making the cost of grading exceed the comic's worth.
Notable Features
Features Spider-Man guest appearance. 30th Anniversary Hulk logo in the bottom left corner (referencing the 30th anniversary of Marvel characters). Direct Edition with no UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1992 copper/modern age print. It features the standard Marvel corner box and gloss finish consistent with the era.
