Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". We provide images of the front cover, the back cover, the first and last interior two-page spreads, and the center spread of the comic book, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book.

Condition: very good. The comic will be sent to the winning bidder in a Mylite sleeve with an acid-free backing board.
