Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners and no visible creasing or spine stress from this angle. There is a faint scuff/wrinkle near the top-left binding edge of the cover flap. No major chips, tears, or fading are evident, though the book is under a protective sleeve which slightly limits full surface assessment. Interior and back cover were not assessed.

// Archive commentary
The Sensational She-Hulk #28, cover-dated June 1991, is a standard issue from Marvel's self-aware, comedic solo title starring Jennifer Walters. The series, launched by John Byrne and continued by a rotating cast of writers and artists through its run, was known for its irreverent tone and fourth-wall breaks rather than for introducing major new characters or story arcs of lasting continuity impact. Issue #28 falls within this era of the title and does not correspond to any recognized first appearance, death, or landmark creative milestone cited in standard price guides.
Market activity for this issue is thin, reflecting its status as a lower-demand back-issue rather than a sought-after key. Certified population remains small, with the overwhelming majority of interest concentrated at the top of the grade spectrum; sales data exists almost exclusively at 9.8 and 9.6, with a pronounced value gap between those two grades. Mid- and low-grade copies see little to no recorded certified activity, consistent with a book that collectors pursue mainly in top condition as a census-chasing exercise rather than as a story-driven acquisition.
This issue suits grade-completionists working through the Sensational She-Hulk run or collectors assembling a full Copper Age Marvel humor-superhero set, rather than buyers seeking character-defining moments. Raw copies in low and mid grades trade as inexpensive filler, commonly bundled into longbox lots, while top-tier CGC 9.8 examples command a real but modest premium driven by scarcity at the census ceiling rather than by story significance. Demand is unlikely to shift materially absent a broader resurgence of interest in the character or era.
