Why this object matters
Shaman Part Two preserves O’Neil, Hannigan and Pratt’s inaugural serial in original first-print form. Within the held five-part launch arc it is meaningfully useful, despite lacking the first issue’s wrap and poster. The previous 5.0 undervalued this context.
Evidence limits: No detachable premium known for this issue. Interior completeness has not yet been physically verified from photographs.
