A 'Giant-Sized' anniversary issue featuring a showdown between the Thing and Doctor Doom.

Significant Marvel meta-narrative fixing by Walt Simonson.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Visible heavy corner rounding on the bottom right; significant spine stress marks including color-breaking ticks; heavy color-breaking vertical crease/bend running through the center of the 'Thing' character; edge wear and shelf wear across bottom border; slight spine roll may be present.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (current state): $3.00 - $8.00; Graded 9.8 (High End): $100.00 - $150.00. Given this copy's condition, its value is minimal/filler level.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade raw copies of this issue range from $5 to $12. High-grade (NM) copies sell for approximately $20-25. Professional grading (9.8) fetches significantly more, but this copy does not meet that threshold.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $30-50) far exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. This is a reader's copy rather than an investment-grade specimen.
Notable Features
Newsstand edition barcode; anniversary issue (#350); iconic Walt Simonson cover; retcons the 'Kristoff Vernard' Doom status vs. the real Doom.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s newsstand print. Paper stock is standard period newsprint which shows typical signs of aging. Correct $1.50 cover price and barcode placement for the era.
