Deaths Head Comic Appraisal

Death's Head II Issue #1 (Marvel UK Comics, March 1992)

This is a standard-sized American comic book (approx. 6.625 x 10.25 inches) published by Marvel UK comics, representing the first issue of a four-part limited series. The cover art, rendered in a highly detailed, gritty 1990s aesthetic, features the mechanical protagonist 'Death's Head II' holding technical debris. The palette consists of vivid greens, blues, and metallic silvers. The cover displays a trade dress including the 'Marvel UK' corner box, a price of $1.75 US, and the date March 1. Notable markings include a yellow price sticker of '4.00' located on the upper right side of the front cover. In terms of condition, the item is stored in a protective plastic sleeve (poly-bagged or boarded), which creates some surface glare. The spine appears relatively straight, though there are minor visible stress lines (color breaks) along the left edge. The corners show slight blunting consistent with a mid-to-high grade raw copy. The paper quality appears consistent with the early 90s era, likely semi-glossy cover stock with newsprint or low-grade white interior pages. This issue mark's the transition to the more humanoid 'Death's Head II' redesign, a significant moment for Marvel's UK division during its brief expansion period.
