Cover shows sharp corners and clean, unstressed spine with no visible ticks or color breaks. Surface gloss appears intact with no scuffing, creasing, or fading noted; the book is bagged, which limits full assessment of surface sheen. No stains, tears, or writing visible on the front cover. Interior and back cover were not assessed, and the protective sleeve may be masking minor surface defects.

// Archive commentary
Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith #4 is part of the six-issue 2001 Dark Horse Comics miniseries written by Darko Macan with art by Ramon F. Bachs, set roughly a thousand years before the film saga during the Sith War era. The series introduced the Jedi wanderer Vergere and the mercenary Kael, and explored the fall of Naga Sadow's Sith remnants, material that would later inform the broader Star Wars expanded-universe chronology used in reference works and later comics and novels.
The book trades as a minor supporting issue within a niche but collected Expanded Universe run rather than as a standalone key. Certified population is small and sales are infrequent, with the CGC 9.8 tier commanding a modest premium over 9.6 copies, reflecting scarcity of top-graded slabs rather than broad collector demand. Raw copies in low and mid grade see minimal secondary-market activity beyond completists filling out the miniseries.
Demand centers on Star Wars Expanded Universe and Dark Horse completists building full miniseries runs, plus a smaller pool of high-grade CGC registry collectors chasing the scarce 9.8 census slots. Mid- and low-grade raw copies move slowly and cheaply, typically bundled with other issues from the run, while pristine slabbed copies see occasional premium sales driven by rarity rather than character or story significance.
