Owner's Description

The Mistress of the Dark arrives.

Quick Front Cover Impression: When the Mistress beckons, you obey.

The Mistress of the Dark arrived on the "DC scene," and what an entrance she made as cover artist Brian Bolland abundantly captured her very much appreciated practice of showcasing her very ample ... eyes; simply stunning.

Issue number one of this unfortunately short series is a wonderful read.

This issue is somewhat hard to find with a perfect cover wrap and white pages in CGC graded 9.8. As such, asking prices for such copies have increased substantially since I purchased the copy you see; actually, asking prices for all CGC graded copies of this issue have seen substantial increases.

If I correctly recall, I purchased a few copies of this issue and all the issues in this short run at my LCS and, highly likely, local newsstand. However, as with all my original owner comic books, although I was very meticulous in selecting the best copies available, sometimes the best copies came with, for example, printing issues that could not be avoided both at the LCS and local newsstand. Whether my original owner issues are 9.8 worthy will be determined at some future date.

CGC Census Representation: As of the May 31, 2022, CGC census there were 18 CGC graded 9.8 copies of this issue. As of the May 9, 2023, CGC census there were 19 CGC graded 9.8 copies of this issue.
