Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-to-high grade typically sell for under $10. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies range from $40-$60 due to limited demand for this specific 90s licensed property.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The estimated grade is currently low (around 5.0), and the cost of grading would exceed the market value of the book. It is best kept as a reader copy or in a bag/board for personal collection.
Notable Features
First issue of the Dark Horse series tie-in to 'The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest' animated show. This version features the UPC barcode, indicating it was likely a newsstand or mass-market distribution copy.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic original publication from 1996 based on the logo placement, Dark Horse trade dress, and specific paper aging visible in the image.
