Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Book is in a protective plastic sleeve showing overall crisp corners, flat cover, vibrant colors, and minimal to no spine stress. The bag has some glare lines obscuring minor details, but the book itself appears well preserved.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $15 to $30; Graded CGC 9.4/9.6 value estimated between $50 to $80
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales range from $10 to $25 depending on platform and condition, with high-grade slabbed copies commanding around $60 to $75.
Grading Recommendation
Professional grading may not yield a high enough return to justify the cost of grading unless aiming for a strict 9.8 pristine copy, as raw copies in nice condition sell steadily.
Notable Features
First self-titled solo miniseries for Lobo, iconic painted cover art by Simon Bisley, highly popular 90s anti-hero character milestone.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with proper DC bullet logo, correct 99-cent cover price box typical of the first printing, proper color registration and paper stock consistent with early 90s prestige format books.
