Owner's Description
My absolute favorite cover of the series and one of my favorite comic covers. The image is derived from the episode Mission of the Darians and the woman in the background is supposed to be Joan Collins, though her character didn't actually have facial markings.
This issue was always high on my priority list of acquiring in high grade, and constantly looking at the 9.8 copy that Doug Sulipa had for sale in my eBay watch list played a big part in swaying me to go for a high grade graded run.
At first glance this book looks immaculate, exactly what I would expect on a 9.8 comic book. However, there is some color breaking on the edge of the spine...the kind I would expect to see on a modern comic which have covers that come to a sharp bend at the spine and are prone to color breaks. But these magazines have the traditional cover wrapping that results in a rounded spine, making me think that this color breaking is perhaps the result of too aggressive of a press.
Still, as of this writing, this copy is the lone 9.8 on the census, the lone 9.4 and 9.2 copies being the only others in the NM range. I'm very proud to own this book.
