⚠ AI-Estimated / Approximate Condition Profile

Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners and no visible creases or spine stress lines. There is minor surface wrinkling/slight waviness in the plastic sleeve possibly reflecting light rather than the cover itself, and a couple of faint handling lines near the top edge. No tears, stains, or color breaks are visible; the book is sleeved which limits full assessment of spine and edges. Interior and back cover were not assessed.

// Archive commentary

The Savage She-Hulk #12 closes out a two-part story pitting Jennifer Walters against Morbius the Living Vampire and the LMD assassin Gemini, with series regulars David Anthony Kraft and Mike Vosburg carrying the writing and art chores. It arrives late in She-Hulk's first solo title, a series better remembered today for launching the character than for any individual issue's plot, and #12 carries no first appearance, death, or other landmark event that distinguishes it within the run.

Market data reflects that status: census and sales counts are thin at nearly every grade, with only a handful of transactions recorded above 8.0 and a single sale anchoring several mid-grade points. Values rise gradually from the low double digits in mid grade to a modest ceiling at the top of the census, consistent with a common newsstand-era Marvel title that was never widely hoarded in high grade but also never generated the demand to push pricing much beyond nominal collector interest. The Morbius crossover angle offers some incremental appeal to horror-adjacent collectors, but it has not translated into meaningfully elevated prices.

This is a book for completists building a full Savage She-Hulk run or Morbius crossover collectors rounding out appearances, rather than a speculative or key-driven purchase. Raw copies in low and mid grade trade cheaply and are readily available given census depth, while a 9.8 slab commands a real but limited premium reflecting genuine scarcity at the top of the grading pyramid rather than character or story significance. Expect steady, unremarkable demand across all grades with little volatility.
