Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The subscription label and heavy wear significantly lower the collectible value, making the cost of grading higher than the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Includes a Silver Surfer two-page pull-out picture. The cover art is inspired by Todd McFarlane's iconic Spider-Man #1 pose. Notable for the subscription label typical of mail-order comics of this era.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s newsprint and glossy cover stock. The presence of the original postal subscription label is a common indicator of a copy mailed directly to a subscriber.
