Why this object matters
Palmer’s writing, drawing and hand-lettering make Destination Kill a coherent single-cartoonist work with a British urban setting relevant to TMR. Its demonstrated authorship supports meaningful 7.8 status; the recent launch does not yet establish the outstanding historical standing implied by 8.8.
Evidence limits: Complete under standing TMR rule. Standard single-issue comic preserved in Collect Forever Soft Slab; interior not opened for page-by-page verification.
