This is a standard-sized American comic book, specifically the debut issue of 'WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams,' published by Image Comics in August 1992. The cover features dynamic, highly detailed artwork by Jim Lee, a hallmarks of the 'Modern Age' style characterized by muscular anatomy and complex line work. The primary cover illustration depicts team leader Spartan in the foreground, flanked by other members like Zealot, Voodoo, and Grifter. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing a wide range of secondary and tertiary colors common in 1990s comic production. The cover also features the 'Image' logo, a price of $1.95 ($2.35 Canada), and a burst seal proclaiming the '1st Senses Shattering Issue!' The item is housed in a protective plastic mylar or polybag with a white backing board. Regarding condition, there is a prominent yellow circular price sticker ($3.00) adhered directly to the surface of the bag (or possibly the bookcover, which would significantly impact value). Visible wear includes minor spine stress marks and slight corner softening. This issue is historically significant as one of the cornerstone launches of Image Comics, representing a major shift in the industry toward creator-owned properties.
