Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS). This is a mass-market trade graphic novel with a high print run; the cost of grading would likely exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
First edition hardcover. Features a unique graphic-narrative autobiography format. Notable for being one of the final comprehensive creative projects overseen by Stan Lee before his passing in 2018.
