DC/MARVEL: ALL ACCESS #1

Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners and no visible creasing or spine stress in this photo; the book is bagged, obscuring fine surface detail. A small printing/registration mark is visible near the character's arm but appears to be part of the original print rather than damage. No边缘 (edge) chipping, tears, or stains are apparent. Interior and back cover were not assessed, and the protective sleeve may hide minor defects such as light handling wear.

DC/Marvel: All Access #1 arrived in December 1996 as part of the wave of inter-company crossovers that followed DC Versus Marvel earlier that year. Written by Ron Marz with art by Jackson Guice, the miniseries built on the character Access, the cosmic "portal" being introduced in the earlier DC vs. Marvel event, sending him on a tour through both companies' flagship heroes including Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Daredevil. The book is a curiosity of 1990s crossover publishing rather than a foundational key, valued by readers more for its novelty premise than for any first appearance or origin story contained within.

Market data for the issue is thin: certified population sits at only 31 graded copies, with just a handful of recorded sales scattered across the grade spectrum and none below CGC 6.0. The top of the census (9.6 and 9.8) has produced the only meaningful transaction history, with 9.8s trading in the low hundreds and 9.6s roughly two-thirds of that figure. Lower and mid grades see essentially no CGC sales activity, reflecting the book's status as a plentiful, inexpensive direct-market title that most owners never bothered to submit.

This is a book for crossover-era completists and Amalgam/DC-Marvel collaboration collectors rather than a mainstream investment vehicle. Raw copies in low and mid grade are readily available for pocket change in back-issue bins and online lots, while collectors chasing pristine, high-grade slabs face a genuinely small population and correspondingly thin but real premium pricing at the 9.8 tier. Demand is narrow and specialized, tracking interest in 1990s inter-publisher crossovers rather than broad superhero-key collecting.
