Grading Recommendation
Likely not worth grading in current condition (estimated 8.0). To be financially viable for grading, this specific '90s annual typically needs a 9.6 or 9.8 grade due to high production volume.
Notable Features
Features Deadpool, Daredevil, and Typhoid Mary. Iconic Bernard Chang cover art. This is a key annual from Joe Kelly's celebrated Deadpool run. Direct Edition with no barcode (graphic in barcode area).
Authentication Notes
Authentic mid-90s Marvel stock. The paper is the standard semi-glossy cover stock used during the 'Heroes Reborn/Return' era. Color registration and staple placement appear consistent with factory standards.
