Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress and color-breaking ticks along the left edge. Minor corner blunting on the top right. Slight edge wear and potential surface scuffing visible under the light on the lower red border. The presence of the UPC indicates a later/newsstand distribution for this period.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $12.00; Graded (CGC 9.0+): $45.00 - $65.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar mid-grade condition have sold for approximately $8.00 on eBay. Higher grade NM copies occasionally reach $20.00.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading fees plus shipping would exceed the market value of the comic in its current estimated condition (6.0/7.0).
Notable Features
Features the 'DC Giant' branding and a 50-cent cover price. Notable for the Joe Kubert cover art, who is synonymous with the bronze-age Tarzan aesthetic. Includes work by Frank Thorne.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1976 newsstand edition. The paper stock shows age-appropriate off-white coloring. The Barcode (UPC) is correctly placed for the mid-70s transition period. No signs of restoration or reproduction detected.
