Recent Sales
Recent independent comic sales for 1990s bad-girl titles remain relatively low, typically trading in the $5-$10 raw range depending on platform.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading unless part of a complete run submission, as the grading and slab fees would exceed the market value increase for this specific issue.
Notable Features
Features the distinctive Crusade Comics shield logo in the bottom left corner, typical of the independent 'bad girl' black-and-white/color boom of the mid-1990s.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard Crusade Comics trade dress, correct logo placement, and matching creators' credits on the cover.
