Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically fall in the $2 to $8 dollar range depending on condition. It is a common back issue from the early 90s.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the book, as it is not a major key issue.
Notable Features
Includes a Trinity Part 5 logo on the cover. Features Lobo and appearances by the Darkstars. This was during the 'Direct Edition' era where the UPC box features a graphic instead of a barcode.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic 1993 DC publication. The color saturation, signature Gene Ha art style, and era-appropriate trade dress (Direct Edition graphic) are consistent with an original copy.
