Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This is a role-playing game supplement rather than a standard narrative comic. The current condition (approx 5.0) would make the cost of grading exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Includes adventures for characters generated using 2000-4000 Hero Points. Features classic 1980s DC house style art and detailed lore for the DC RPG system.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Mayfair Games product. Paper stock is heavier than standard comic newsprint, consistent with 1980s game modules. Proper registration of the DC logo and distinct Mike Stackpole byline present.
