Recent Sales
Comp series issues generally sell for $3-$10 in lots or individually on secondary markets like eBay; rarely graded due to low demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) would likely exceed the market value of the comic. Better suited for a polybag and board collection.
Notable Features
Features Martha Washington (from Give Me Liberty) cover art by Dave Gibbons. Dark Horse Insider was a transitionary publication between a standard comic and a trade catalog.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1993 newsprint/gloss-cover hybrid consistent with Dark Horse's production quality of that era. Standard staple bound format.
