Robocop Versus The Terminator Appraisal

RoboCop Versus The Terminator #1 (Dark Horse Comics, 1992)

This is a first-edition comic book, 'RoboCop Versus The Terminator' issue #1, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1992. The cover art features a dynamic confrontation between the titular characters, illustrated with the signature gritty style associated with Frank Miller (writer) and Walter Simonson (artist). The physical characteristics include a standard American comic book format (approximately 6.6 x 10.2 inches) with a glossy cardstock cover and staple-bound construction. The color palette is dominated by vibrant reds, blues, and blacks, typical of the early 90s printing processes. Notable features include the silver-foil embossed logo at the top and the '1' marking in dark grey at the top right corner. The condition appears to be relatively well-preserved as it is housed in a protective plastic sleeve (bag) with a backing board, though a slight vertical light reflection on the left side suggests possible minor surface rippling or 'waviness' often caused by humidity or pressure. No significant spine stress marks, color breaks, or corner blunting are immediately visible through the polybag, suggesting a high-grade mid-to-high 'Near Mint' range, though an out-of-bag inspection would be required for a definitive CGC-style grade. This crossover series remains a cult classic due to the high-profile creative team involved and the iconic nature of the two science fiction franchises.
