Why this object matters
The penultimate original-run issue combines the impending publication closure with a substantial Japan special. That concrete editorial and terminal context supports a modest increase to 8.7, distinguishing it from the actual final issue.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
