// Condition analysis
Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners; a few faint handling creases are visible near the lower right edge and the price box shows minor edge softness. No major spine stress, color breaks, or tears are evident, though the plastic sleeve and glare make fine assessment of the spine and edges difficult. Interior and back cover were not assessed.

// Archive commentary
The Savage She-Hulk #24 arrived near the close of the character's first ongoing series, a Bronze Age title that had struggled to find its footing despite giving Marvel's gamma-powered heroine her own vehicle following her 1980 debut. David Anthony Kraft's writing and Mike Vosburg's pencils, both on the cover and interior art, anchored much of the series' latter half, with this issue continuing the supporting cast dynamics involving Morris Walters, Richard Rory, and the recurring villain Shade. As the second-to-last issue before cancellation at #25, it holds a modest place in the chronology of She-Hulk's early publishing history but contains no first appearances, deaths, or other events that price guides or collector consensus treat as landmark.
Market activity reflects a low-demand back-issue title with a small but stable certified population. Sales data across the CGC census show thin volume at every grade, with the 9.8 tier commanding a real premium over near-mint copies due to the scarcity of true gem-mint survivors from a newsstand print run that saw limited care. Demand is driven almost entirely by completists building a full run of the 1980-82 She-Hulk solo series or Vosburg cover collectors, rather than any speculative or crossover interest tied to the character's later prominence in other media.
This is a book that trades in modest dollar amounts across nearly every condition tier, with the gap between raw and top-census CGC 9.8 copies being wide in percentage terms but small in absolute dollars. Casual buyers and dealers assembling bronze-age Marvel runs will find raw copies inexpensive and plentiful, while the handful of 9.8 slabs appeal mainly to registry-focused collectors chasing census-topping examples of a low-key, low-population title.
