Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this issue range from $0.99 to $4.00 as part of bulk lots. There is very low market demand for this specific late-run issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the book. It is a common 'dollar bin' comic.
Notable Features
Features the 'Babewatch!' subtitle, a play on the popular 90s TV show 'Baywatch'. Art by Todd Nauck, who later became famous for 'Young Justice'. Newsstand/Direct distinction is generally non-applicable for this specific era/publisher as most had uniform UPC placement or logos.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Image production. Typical glossy cover stock and newsprint-grade interior pages for the period. No known counterfeits exist due to low market value.
