Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of late-run Continuity titles typically sell in bulk lots or for under $10 individually. High-grade graded copies are rare and sell primarily to completionist collectors.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$35) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Independent title from Neal Adams' Continuity Comics; features Jason Kriter's distinct 90s indie art style; contains a barcode (Direct Edition/Newsstand-style) in the lower left.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Note the specific 'Continuity Comics' logo in the upper right and the $2.00 US / $2.95 CAN price point consistent with early 90s independent distribution.
