Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for grading unless it can achieve a 9.8. A professional press and clean might help reach a higher tier, but the cost of grading often exceeds the market value of raw copies in mid-to-high grades for this specific title.
Notable Features
First meeting of Vampirella and Lady Death in a dedicated one-shot. Signature on bottom right ('Small/Dean') refers to Louis Small Jr. and Mike Dean. Missing UPC on front (standard for this direct edition).
Authentication Notes
The paper stock and high-gloss cover finish are consistent with 1999 Harris/Chaos productions. Staple alignment and ink saturation appear authentic to original distribution.
