Comic Description
Part of a 4-issue limited series that serves as an official tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Issue #3 specifically adapts events from the film 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' focusing on Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff as they uncover the Hydra conspiracy within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible horizontal crease across the top third of the cover (likely through the spine), significant color-breaking stress lines on the front cover, minor corner blunting on the bottom left, and a red circular sticker on the plastic polybag which may or may not be adhered to the book surface.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this prelude series typically sell for under $10. There is very low market demand for MCU tie-in comics compared to main-line continuity keys.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic has significant visible surface wear and ceases, and the cost of grading would exceed the final market value of the book.
Notable Features
Features imagery of Chris Evans as Captain America and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow from the MCU films. Contains an MCU Official Tie-In logo at the bottom center.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic modern era Marvel publication. The high-gloss cover and modern UPC formatting are consistent with 2016 production standards.
