Seller's Description
Beauty and the Beast (1984 Ltd) #3
Cover Date: April 1985
Writer: Ann Nocenti
Artist: Don Perlin
Title: Showtime
Plot: Dazzler and Beast spend some time together on the beach, but the disgusted glares and comments they receive from the other occupants ruin their fun. Dazzler can't stand it and runs back to the arena, where she at least feels accepted. Hank refuses to join her. Dazzler slowly grows accustomed to the violent gladiator lifestyle, enjoying the thrill of battle and embracing the beauty of the scars they receive. However, her mind keeps wandering back to Beast. At the Heartbreak Hotel, Hank mourns Alison's absence from his life, but Kate tells him to cut it out and go rescue her. Her words inspire him to give it another try, and he heads to the arena. While there, he stumbles upon a top-secret laboratory, sneaks inside, and finds a mysterious chemical used by the theater's owners to keep Dazzler under the control. However, he has no chance to share this with her, as the guards soon burst in. They subdue Beast and inject him with the same mutant-power enhancing formula they use to control Dazzler. The effects are immediate. Back at Heartbreak, Poltergeist and Link decide to rescue Dazzler themselves. Later that night, Dazzler enters the arena for a 'Beauty and the Beast'-themed battle, and to her surprise, her opponent is the feral Hank McCoy. She tries to reason with him but cannot breach his savage exterior. It is only after almost killing him that Hank snaps out of his berserker rage. He pleads with Dazzler for mercy, and she yields, immediately ashamed of her vicious behavior. Hugo, meanwhile, is incensed to see her ruin the performance. He orders his gladiators to execute the two. Flynn intervenes and ceases the fighting, immediately before claiming the title of ruler for himself. He orders the gladiators to slay Hugo, and they slaughter him without hesitation. Alexander Flynn now stands as the undisputed ruler of the arena. Meanwhile, in Latveria, Doctor Doom receives another frustrating update about his alleged son. He finally decides to travel to Hollywood to take care of the problem himself.

We do not list ANY comics as Mint condition. In our view this grade does not exist. Comic books are mass produced paper items, handled many times often with little care before even reaching the shop or newsstand to be offered for sale. EVERY COMIC even a brand new one will have some form of minor defect if you get out a magnifying glass and look closely enough.
If you are intent on finding comic book perfection, or CGC guaranteed results, it would probably be best to view the comics in person at our store before bidding!
It is an unfortunate truth that the established back issue grading system is misleading to new comers. Both Good & Fair are low grades. For this reason we have provided the chart below. If you are unsure what to expect from grades like VFN+ and G-, just refer to the chart. All you need to remember is that 100% is brand new while 5% has been through the washing machine. Everything else comes in steps between.
The best way to use this chart is to think of it as top middle and bottom. This enables even a layman to visualise the condition of the comic.
Near Mint (NM) = 100% As new. High grade comic.
Near Mint Minus (NM-) 90% Almost perfect. High grade comic.
Very Fine Plus (VFN+) = 80% Almost perfect. High grade comic appearing Near mint at first glance but with one or two minor flaws upon closer inspection.
Very Fine (VFN) = 75% High to Mid grade comic. Appearing almost Near Mint at first glance but with two to three minor flaws upon closer inspection.
Very Fine Minus (VFN-) = 70% High to Mid grade comic. Nice condition comic with slight signs of very minor wear.
