Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade condition typically sell for $12 to $18 on eBay. Professional graded copies are rare for this specific issue as it is not a major key.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The grading fees would likely exceed the market value of the book. It is a great collector's item for a fan of the 70s TV show, but not a high-yield investment piece.
Notable Features
Features the likeness of Lee Majors as Steve Austin. Contains periodic newsstand UPC barcode. Notable for the Howard Bender cover art, who was a prominent Charlton artist of the era.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with period-accurate 35-cent price point and Charlton Comics logo. The paper stock shows natural age-related tanning consistent with 1977 newsprint.
