Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears to be in very high-grade condition. Corners look sharp. There is a slight glare on the bottom left corner from the bag/camera that makes assessing spine ticks difficult, but no major color-breaking creases are visible. Minimal edge wear along the top.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $5.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
This is a recent release (mid-2024); most sales have been at or slightly below cover price ($3.99). High-grade raw copies frequently sell for approximately $4.00.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. As a modern, non-key issue with a high print run and low market demand, the cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) would exceed the market value of the book, even if it returned a 9.8 grade.
Notable Features
First issue of the series. Published under Image Comics. Features credits for colors by Francesco Segala and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou on the front cover.
Authentication Notes
The book appears authentic with standard modern gloss finish and Image Comics logo/indicia in the top left. The tan/cream border is part of the intentional design, not aging/foxing.
