Justice (John Tane) continues his quest to hunt down 'paranormals' who use their powers for evil. In this issue, titled 'The Land of the Free', Justice faces off against agents of a corrupt government facility. The New Universe line was Marvel's attempt at a more 'realistic' superhero world without magic or aliens.

Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Low-demand back issue. Recent raw copies sell in bulk lots for $1.00-$3.00. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear on auction and typically sell for the cost of grading.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the fair market value of the comic, even in high grade.
Notable Features
Part of Marvel's 'New Universe' 25th Anniversary imprint. Features the Newsstand UPC barcode which is often scarcer than Direct Market editions in better condition, though not significantly more valuable for this specific title.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980s Marvel copper-age publication. Printing quality and newsprint paper stock are consistent with the era and the New Universe line's production standards.
