Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading ($25+) far exceed the current market value of a mid-to-high grade copy ($7.0). This is a common 1990s back issue without significant key status.
Notable Features
Features the 'Direct Edition' UPC box with the 'Face of Spiderman' icon typical of mid-90s Marvel books. Art by Rafael Kayanan, known for his gritty, detailed style on Conan and Firestorm.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1995 Marvel production. Gloss levels and paper stock are consistent with the 'paper era' transition period of the mid-1990s. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting.
