Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for the complete 3-issue set range from $10-$15. Single raw copies often sell for under $5 in high grade.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the comic. It is a common 1990s copper-age issue.
Notable Features
Prestige Format (higher quality paper/cardstock cover). Reimagining of Adam Strange's origin and the planet Rann for the post-Crisis era.
