Up for grabs is a gorgeous, high-grade 3-issue lot of Millennium (1988) from DC Comics!
Published weekly in an incredibly ambitious, lightning-fast publishing schedule that was completely unprecedented for its time, this crossover masterpiece stands as one of the definitive late-80s mega-events that reshaped the landscape of the post-Crisis DC Universe.
Masterfully written by legendary scribe Steve Englehart with cosmic, hyper-detailed artwork by Joe Staton and Ian Gibson, this lot features the historic, high-stakes war between Earth's heroes and the ancient, sinister robotic cult of the Manhunters.
This trio forms the core backbone of the event:
Millennium #2 – "The Summoning" (Week 2): Earth's greatest heroes are deployed worldwide to secure the "Chosen" individuals while the sleeper agent network of the Manhunters begins to violently activate in their personal lives.
Millennium #3 – "The Gathering" (Week 3): High-velocity cosmic action as the defensive parameters tighten around the Green Lantern Citadel and the tracking of the hidden immortals intensifies.
Millennium #4 – "The Choice" (Week 4): A major narrative turning point featuring a massive character assembly including Batman, the Justice League International, Captain Atom, and the Spectre as they uncover the secret Manhunter stronghold.
Condition & Grading Estimation
Estimated Grade Range: 9.2 to 9.4 (VF/NM to Near Mint)
Condition Notes: These raw vintage books are absolute museum-grade survivors. They boast mirror-like front and back cover reflectivity, rich ink density, and highly defined, bright white page margins. The spines are entirely flat, sharp, and razor-straight, showing virtually zero handling wear or visible spine stress ticks. They look like they were pulled right off a distributor's shipping pallet in 1988 and placed instantly into long-term vault storage.
Professional Disclaimer: Please note that I am not a professional grader. High-resolution photos showing the front covers, back covers, and close-up macro edge details of the actual books you will receive are provided so you can examine their condition closely and make your own final determination before purchasing.
