Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50 | Graded (9.0+): $150+
Recent Sales
Copies in mid-grade condition typically sell for $25-$45. Higher grade copies (8.0+) can reach $100+ due to the cult following of Ken Landgraf and Wally Wood.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading in this condition. The high visibility of the staining and heavy wear on the paper stock will result in a lower grade that does not offset the cost of the grading service. It is best enjoyed as a raw reader/collector copy.
Notable Features
Independent/Underground press (Bronze Age). Features art by Ken Landgraf with script assistance/involvement by Wally Wood. $1.25 cover price. Large format/magazine size style.
Authentication Notes
Authentic original 1977 printing. The paper stock used by 'Off the Wall Graphics' is porous and prone to the type of foxing and tanning seen on this specimen. Staple placement and font alignment match known copies.
