Condition Notes: Strong Bronze Age copy with very good color and an attractive front cover. There is visible tanning/aging around the white perimeter of the front and back covers, particularly along the top and outer edges. The spine has several small stress marks and light wear around the staples, with additional minor edge and corner wear. The lower corners show mild rounding/wear. Interior is solid and clean with secure centerfold and staples. Overall, the book presents very nicely but the accumulated spine wear and cover aging keep it below the 9.0 range.

Scan Note: Images are high-resolution scans of the actual comic. Scanning can exaggerate page toning, surface wear, color variations and other minor imperfections. Colors and paper tones may vary slightly from how the comic looks in person.
