Condition Details
The comic is bagged and boarded. The cover displays vibrant colors, sharp corners, and minimal spine stress. Slight glare and light reflections from the protective sleeve are visible, but no major tears, creases, or major defects are apparent on the exterior.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $3.00 to $10.00. Graded value (CGC 9.2/9.4) estimated around $25.00 to $50.00 depending on buyer demand.
Recent Sales
Western indie comics from the late 1990s typically trade in the low dollar range raw, as they are niche collector items rather than high-velocity modern keys.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS) for value alone, as the grading and shipping costs would exceed the potential market value increase for this specific issue.
Notable Features
Direct Edition barcode box with code 00211. Published under the Homage Comics imprint of WildStorm Productions.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard printing characteristics, clear logo typography, correct publisher branding for Homage Comics, and standard UPC barcode placement for 1990s direct market books.
