Jim Lee Wildcats Appraisal

Wildcats Trilogy #1 (June 1993)

This is a first-edition copy of Wildcats Trilogy #1, published by Image Comics under the WildStorm imprint in June 1993. The item is a standard-sized modern age comic book featuring a distinctive foil-embossed or holographic-sheen cover, which was a popular stylistic trend during the early 1990s comic boom. The cover art prominently displays characters such as Grifter, Spartan, and Zealot in the signature high-action, detailed style of the era, likely illustrated by Jae Lee. The coloring utilizes deep purples, oranges, and teals, with the metallic finish providing a reflective quality to the character outlines. The issue number '1' and original price of $2.50 are visible in the top-left corner alongside the Image Comics 'i' logo. The item appears to be stored in a protective plastic mylar sleeve. Observed condition issues include minor corner blunting on the top-left and an orange price sticker applied directly to the top-right of the plastic sleeve, though the comic itself seems relatively well-preserved without major creases or spine rolls visible from the front view. This issue represents a key part of the Wildstorm Universe's expansion during the Height of the Image Comics era.
