Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. The visible spine stress limits the potential grade to mid-to-high grade only.
Notable Features
First appearance of the modern Superman Revenge Squad team. Features the 'Triangle Number' 1997-7 (meaning it is the 7th Superman-related chapter released in 1997).
Authentication Notes
Authentic DC product. Standard glossy cover cardstock with newsprint-style interior pages typical of mid-90s DC publications. UPC present in the bottom right corner indicates a direct market copy.
