Up for sale is Marvel's The Avengers: Issue #196 - aka Taskmaster's first-ever comic appearance. This is the edition that came with the Taskmaster - Legendary Riders figure; as such, please bear in mind this is NOT the original comic.

I have taken photos of some pages to compare its likeness to the original Issue #196. The original comic are the lower quality/yellowing pages, while this comic features much brighter colors and vibrancy. The ads in this comic are different and differently placed from those in the original.

Please bear in mind I am NOT a professional rater or comic-collector. Because there are some minor signs of use, I won't pretend it's mint or close to - but it still looks Very Fine to me, at least. I haven't even read through the entire thing so I can keep it as close to new as possible. Please please please see the photos for reference!

It will be shipped inside the baggy it was sold in (as pictured) and sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, inside a generic mailing envelope. If you would like it shipped differently, please let me know before your purchase!

Feel free to message me if you have any questions! More photos available upon request. Should only take me two days max to ship this out after payment is received. All of my items come from a smoke-free home ♥

For fellow San Diegans: I also do local pickup! We can meet halfway or in an area closer to you. Shoot me a message if you're interested!
