Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress visible through the foil laminate. Minor corner blunting on the top left. The foil surface appears mostly clean but has light superficial scuffing common for 1990s chromium/foil stock. Generally flat with good color vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
$5.00 - $12.00 (Raw); $40.00 - $65.00 (Graded 9.8)
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $3-$8 in average condition. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $50-$70 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless it is a sentimental piece. The high population and low market demand for 90s foil era gimmick covers mean the cost of grading usually exceeds the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Features a purple foil embossed cover. Notable for the darker, moody art style of Jae Lee which differentiated it from the main Jim Lee series. No UPC barcode on cover (Direct Edition).
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1993 Image Comics production. Correct foil reflectivity, $2.50 cover price, and proper Image 'i' logo placement. Paper stock is the standard glossy interior typical of early Wildstorm/Image productions.
