The eighth issue contains eight features, usable by both players and judges:
Additional Birth Augurs—While the DCC RPG provides a lot of birth augurs, Brian Gilkison has got a few that were missed, and so we share them with you in this nifty article on the topic!
Jinn Adversaries—Jinn... Their names are whispered in legend, lamps are rubbed in hopefulness of dreams fulfilled, and their realms are places of mystery and the roiling chaos of the first plane rolled into one. In this article, Khaldoun Khelil details Jinn as adversaries in all their glory and magnificent depth! These are foes unlike any your characters have faced before!
Eye Wizard Class—You have seen the Eye Wizard online, haunting the corners of DCC forums, Facebook groups, and your own restless dreams. Now, play one of these enigmatic creatures as a full blown class! Join us as we pay homage to Loz-the-Eye's mysterious idea brought to life in a class writeup so massively awesome we had to invent new words to encapsulate the enigma that are Eye Wizards!
Patron Missions: Bobugbubilz—What is not to love about this demonic lord of amphibians? Many a wizard have bonded with this patron, and now we reveal 7 missions for Bobugbubilz that will shatter your wizard's mind! Or at least make them wish they had tried going it alone that one time.
Cullpepper's Herbal—Balm and Bay Tree join the ranks of our gardens this issue. Join Ms. Cullpepper as we explore the depths of these herbs and discover their uses for adventures yet to come.
Elven Luck—Like dwarves, Elves have some special uses for the Luck stat as well. Explore this in our article specifically devoted to the topic. This is a great way to make elves a bit more... Elven.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
