Why this object matters
Christopher’s Weapon X negative-space cover is a useful design object within the held cover programme, attached to the later Age of Apocalypse anniversary return. It should not inherit the importance of the original 1995 event simply through anniversary association.
Evidence limits: Complete under standing TMR accession rule. No missing issued component is reported; bonus digital-code designation on the enclosure is retained as part of the issue metadata.
