Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a guaranteed 9.8. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$40 plus shipping) often exceeds the market value of raw copies for this specific 90s pin-up title.
Notable Features
Features Lady Death, a major independent comic icon of the 1990s. The issue is noted for its high-gloss black cover which is prone to showing fingerprints and spine stress.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Chaos! Comics production. Identified by the signature Steven Hughes art style and the specific 'In Lingerie' logo font used during the mid-90s boom. No signs of counterfeiting detected.
