Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the current market value of the book unless it is a guaranteed 9.8, and this copy shows visible wear.
Notable Features
First issue of the Freak Force ongoing series. Dynamic fold-out cover/poster feature common in early Image titles.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic first printing. Paper stock is the standard glossy stock used by Image/Malibu in the early 90s. Print registration on the logo appears correct.
