Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies on auction platforms have sold for $2.00 to $5.00. Generally found in 'dollar bins' at local shops due to high print runs during the 90s boom.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (CGC/CBCS) far exceed the current market value of the comic. It is a common '90s back-issue with low collector demand.
Notable Features
Anniversary Issue. High-gloss cover with a signature Malibu Ultraverse holographic foil stamp on the front. Features Steve Englehart's writing, a veteran of Marvel and DC.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Malibu Comics production. Visible 'Ultraverse 1st Anniversary' circular blue foil logo in the bottom left quadrant is consistent with 1994 production standards. Standard newsprint interior pages with heavy cardstock cover.
