Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The condition is poor, and the ink writing (personalized message) would likely result in a 'Qualified' (Green) label or a significantly lower grade. The cost of grading exceeds the value of the book.
Notable Features
Villains Month 'point' issue. Features the origin of Ra's al Ghul. This is the standard 2D cover version, not the 3D lenticular variant.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic DC Comics direct edition product based on the '23321' barcode suffix. The ink signature/writing on the bottom appears to be a personal inscription rather than a certified creator signature.
