CGC 9.8 — Blind Bag Exclusive Variant

This copy depicts a striking foil-embossed Power Girl vs. Wonder Woman brawl, one of the standout images from the line’s blind bag insert set.

Heritage & Detailing
DC K.O. is DC Comics’ 2025 event limited series written by Scott Snyder with art by Javier Fernández, built around an escalating knockout-style tournament between the DC Universe’s heaviest hitters. Alongside standard newsstand covers, DC ran a companion “Lights Out” blind bag programme for issue #1: a run of foil variant covers by top-tier artists — including Frank Cho, Greg Capullo, Jim Lee, and Scott Koblish among others — packed sealed and sold at random, so buyers had no way of choosing which artist’s cover they received.
That randomised distribution is what makes individual artist variants like this Cho foil edition genuinely hard to find in high grade — supply was capped by however many bags happened to contain this particular cover, rather than by a stated print run. Cho’s painted, cinematic style on this Power Girl/Wonder Woman confrontation has made it one of the most requested covers from the blind bag set among collectors chasing the series.
Condition & Presentation
Encapsulated by CGC in a tamper-evident Universal (Blue Label) holder and graded 9.8 NM/MT with white pages. The foil cover is bright and unmarked with sharp corners and a square spine, consistent with the near-pristine 9.8 designation.
Why RareFind Rates This Piece Rare & Collectable
According to the CGC census, only 16 copies of this Cho foil edition have been graded to date, making a 9.8 an exceptionally rare find even within an already scarce blind bag variant. As a randomised, non-purchasable insert cover, it carries a scarcity profile closer to a hidden chase card than a standard comic variant — a strong pickup for collectors specialising in modern DC foil and blind bag exclusives.
