PLEASE NOTE: The book has extremely minor cover touch-ups with black magic marker/ink pen. You can see faint black bleed through on inside cover (see pics.). Book is very, very nice otherwise.

PLEASE NOTE AGAIN: I’m not a professional grader but have over 40 years of collecting, trading & selling comic books & other collectibles. Please read description in 3rd paragraph. Please view all photos & ask any questions you may have. Grading is not a science. The impact or the importance of flaws to a book can vary from person to person. I may feel a faint water stain on the back cover is minor where someone else feels it’s more of a major defect. What I may think is a 6.0 or 6.5 someone else may think it’s a 5.0 or 5.5. I try to note what I feel are the most notable of defects and give honest grade ranges. I’m not trying to hide anything, I just may think something is not as major as someone else. Please do not purchase if you disagree or like to debate grade ranges. Purchase professionally graded comics then. I see the poorly graded comics listed out there. Also it is not my concern how the book can possibly be improved or not improved by a pressing, cleaning or any other restoration. Thank you and sorry for the rant. 

Offered up from my personal collection is a “RARE” CAT #1. Published by Marvel Comics in 1972. Story by Linda Fite with “great” art & cover by “industry legends” Marie Severin & Wally Wood. Origin and 1st appearance of the Cat (Greer Grant, later becomes Tigra). Vintage “KEY” CAT issue and a “MUST HAVE” for any Marvel Comics and TIGRA completist/collector. 

In my estimation the book ranges in “NICE” (6.0) FINE to (6.5) FINE+ condition with cream to medium cream pages. Very moderate wear to cover, spine, corners & edges. PLEASE SEE ABOVE REGARDING VERY MINOR COVER TOUCH-UPS. Couple faint/minor dimples at spine edge, very minor creasing at bottom right corner and book has very slight age discoloration/staining/soiling. A tight, sharp, bright & glossy looking copy. There are no other glaring flaws to note, that is not typical to books falling under the indicated grade ranges or visible in pictures. I am not a professional grader but grade very conservatively using The Overstreet Price Guide as reference and my 40+ years of comic book collecting/selling experience. Pictures are of the actual book you will receive. No stock photos. All books come bagged & boarded.
