Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC or CBCS grading far exceeds the market value of the comic. It is a low-demand independent title from the 1980s copper age boom.
Notable Features
Indie copper age comic; creator-owned style typical of the mid-80s independent 'black and white' explosion (though this series featured color). Features the work of Adam J. Blaustein.
Authentication Notes
Authentic original printing. Features standard newsprint interior and semi-glossy cover stock common to 1980s independent publishers. No known reprints or counterfeits exist for this title.
