Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this issue in mid-to-high raw grade average between $3 and $6. Graded copies rarely trade but typically sell for the cost of the slab.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a common 90s issue with low market demand and current condition issues (tanning and spine stress) that would likely yield a mid-grade, making the grading fees far exceed the value of the book.
Notable Features
Direct Edition (barcode with '79' and 'Direct Sales' text). Story concludes the New Extremists arc. Features Guy Gardner in his 'Warrior' suit phase.
Authentication Notes
Genuine 1993 DC publication. Standard newsprint interior pages which show characteristic tanning for the age. Correct staple placement and gloss for early 90s DC books.
