Why this object matters
Regicide’s Lalliat main cover and Kindlon collaboration document a current creator-owned horror launch. Exact first-print identification is useful bibliography, but the available evidence establishes neither sustained influence nor unusual copy distinction. A supporting 6.8 is more proportionate than 8.0.
Evidence limits: Assumed complete under standing TMR accession rule; front and reverse are visible through the Collect Forever Soft Slab. Enclosure is present and intact; interior contents cannot be physically inspected without opening the slab.
