Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the current market value of the book, especially given the visible surface creasing.
Notable Features
Features the first appearance of Sybok (Spock's half-brother) in comics. This is a prestige-style format movie special rather than a standard monthly issue.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with correct 'DC Movie Special' trade dress, 1989 logo, and period-accurate color saturation for the painted cover style.
