Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
The book is housed in a bag which obscures fine details, but visible flaws include moderate spine stress ticks, slightly blunted corners (especially top right/bottom left), and potential minor staining or foxing on the white background. There is a price sticker on the top right of the bag (not the book itself, though adhesive residue can sometimes transfer).
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $8; Graded (9.8): $30 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent sales for individual raw copies range from $0.99 to $5.00. High-grade graded copies rarely appear and often sell for only the cost of the grading fee plus a small premium.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC or CBCS grading ($25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. It is best kept as a reader copy or in a protective bag and board.
Notable Features
Features artwork and concepts by industry legend Neal Adams. Part of the 'Continuity Universe' which attempted to create a shared superhero world outside of the Big Two. Notable for its higher-than-average $1.50 cover price for the era.
Authentication Notes
First printing established by the $1.50 cover price and lack of subsequent printing identifiers. No known counterfeits exist as the market value is low.
