Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic shows visible wear that would prevent a high grade (9.6+), and the costs of grading (approx. $30-50) would exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic modern era DC comic book. Printing quality, paper stock (glossy cover), and the Direct Sales barcode alignment are consistent with standard 2014 DC publications.
