Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress, blunted corners (especially top right), minor surface scuffing on the black ink areas, and a bright pink price sticker on the top right corner which may cause residue or damage if removed.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition sold for approximately $5.00. High-grade slabbed copies are rare and generally do not exceed $70.00 due to low demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS fees will exceed the market value of the comic. The sticker on the cover significantly detracts from potential high grades.
Notable Features
Independent/Alternative comic published under Malibu's Adventure Comics imprint. Notable for Gary Yap's art style which mimics 1950s Atomic Age pulp and sci-fi monster films.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s newsprint/glossy mix. Proper Malibu/Adventure logo placement. Staple placement appears standard for the era's binding process.
