Why this object matters
The Roberts/Renzi principal cover records the original Chaves/Roberts Corpse Knight launch and its film-to-comics creator connection. Those concrete features support meaningful 7.2 status; the current evidence does not establish an outstanding cultural landmark.
Evidence limits: Complete under the standing TMR completeness rule. Comic remains enclosed in its Collect Forever Soft Slab; no missing component has been reported.
