These are my comics from childhood. I am not a comic dealer.

Grading is a subjective decision. I grade this comic as "Very Good+". It has only minor defects. The center page is loose at the top staple. There is a small tape repair at the bottom of the front and back cover. There is a small tear at the bottom of some pages (see images). It is complete and readable with the cover still attached and remains a desirable copy.  There is no writing, creasing, splits or restoration other than mentioned. If you disagree with this grading when you receive the comic, I will take it back for refund. I aim to under grade rather than over grade but please contact me if you are unhappy. The images shown are of the actual comic for sale, please look at them. Please also see video with the images.

Please ask if you have any questions.
