Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is common with high production numbers, and the estimated grade (7.5-8.0) would not cover the cost of grading fees.
Notable Features
Early Erik Larsen art and writing on the 'Adjectiveless' Spider-Man title. Features a team-up with the New Warriors (Nova and Speedball). This is the Direct Edition identified by the barcode box.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1990s Marvel print quality. Glossy cover finish and standard newsprint interior pages appear authentic.
