Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-to-high grade raw copies typically fall between $8 and $12 USD. High-grade graded copies are rarely seen at auction for this specific issue due to low market demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC or CBCS services would likely exceed the final market value of the comic. It is best kept as a reading copy or in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Independent/Alternative comic from Fantagraphics; published during the peak of the 1980s 'black and white boom' and indie funny animal trend. Features cover price variants for US ($2.00) and Canada ($2.85).
Authentication Notes
The glossy paper stock and specific color saturation of the Fantagraphics yellow masthead are consistent with original 1987 production. No indications of reproduction or counterfeiting.
