Comic Description
Picking up after the events of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, the duo must navigate their fame as the Wyld Stallyns and ensure the future utopia remains intact. De nomolos is defeated, but new threats to the timeline emerge. This issue features Bill S. Preston, Esq., Ted 'Theodore' Logan, and the Princesses.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in excellent condition within a polybag/board. Visible edges show sharp corners and a flat spine with no immediate evidence of color-breaking stress. A slight indentation is visible on the bag which may not affect the book, but a 9.4 is a safe raw estimate due to potential minor surface wear typical of dark-ink covers.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25 - $45; Graded (CGC 9.8): $120 - $180
Recent Sales
Recent sales for this 1:25 incentive have fluctuated between $30 and $55 for high-grade raw copies. Graded 9.8 copies have seen a rise in desirability among cult classic collectors.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8 grade. The dark black borders on this specific Scott Koblish cover are highly susceptible to corner dings and edge wear; a 9.8 would carry a significant premium over raw value.
Notable Features
1:25 Retailer Incentive cover by Scott Koblish featuring a stained-glass motif celebrating the historical figures from 'Excellent Adventure' (Lincoln, Napoleon, Joan of Arc). No UPC barcode on cover (characteristic of incentive variants).
Authentication Notes
Authentic Boom! Studios production. Spot gloss on the black areas is consistent with 2015 printing standards. Artist signature 'Koblish' and date '2015' are present in the lower right of the artwork.
