The insectoid creature composition is unlike anything else in the early-'90s DC lineup, and McDonnell's clean interior grid work makes the investigation scenes genuinely tense. The Great Eastern Conventions spread inside — Albany, Philadelphia, and a full July 1991 schedule across nine cities — is a complete snapshot of what the pre-internet convention circuit looked like. The Atari Lynx back cover with 15 game titles at $99.99 is the cherry on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormal wear consistent with age and storage — expect heavy tanning to interior pages, minor spine stress, and light edge wear as shown in photos.
