Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic in this condition. The estimated grade of 5.0-6.0 does not command a premium.
Notable Features
Features the Psi-Hawk on the cover. Part of Marvel's 'New Universe' initiative launched by Jim Shooter. This is a Newsstand edition, distinguished by the barcode in the lower-left corner.
Authentication Notes
The paper stock appears consistent with the newsprint quality used by Marvel in 1987. The Ben-Day dot patterns in the blue background and the specific typography of the 'New Universe' header are authentic to the period.
