Why this object matters
The standalone Family story has useful continuity interest through Corto Maltese and a self-contained original narrative. That specific role supports the existing 7.0. A continuity reference is not enough to confer exceptional archive status.
Evidence limits: Standalone story; no detachable extra identified. Interior not yet inspected.
