Excuse the jeep of over 200k miles but ...

Im glad technically that I "saved it!" As it was recently put in at the bookstore but had no bag and board, already started getting a finger bend that you can see and I don't press but still a 9.2 NM - copy imo? Mr grader @grendelbo 🙏 otherwise looks decent

Finger bend isn't "through book" , just first page

Mortal Kombat! I've often wondered if the foil was the first cover but don't remember. I did remember the first ones brought to school as a kid along with street fighter, wish I had been mire adult about it as it was someone else's copies

Bit a a rant other than memories, but those kinds of covers and books regnite nostalgia. Nice assortment though.

Amen, I tried to look it up right quick!  I put a double dragon 1 in someone's gift pile, and ran into a double dragon #5 or #7 that I would have picked up today but wasn't the dollar bin.

In short Mortal Kombat @littledoom was a plain cover and as a kid it was weird knowing the logo was their main attraction for the series run. With the long title, it all struck me as not a finished product. It had its time or its day though.

Thanks for the reply

Those Kid N Plays are really hard to find. I never seen either copy. I only find issue 1 2 or the last issue.
