Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value for this promotional newsletter does not justify the cost of grading, and the condition is mid-grade at best.
Notable Features
Features early 90s Lobo art by Simon Bisley and a 'Cover of the Month' spotlight on Legion of Super-Heroes #28. These newsletters were often discarded, making high-grade survivors scarcer than standard comic issues.
