Note that this is one of eleven comic books consigned to us by a man who "re-discovered" his childhood comic book collection, and they have sat undisturbed (and unslabbed, unrestored, and unflattened) for all those years, until now, when we are auctioning them in the same state without anything being done to them. We have photographed ALL pages of the comic so that you can absolutely tell what condition it is in, something you of course could never do with a "slabbed" comic book!
