YOU ARE BUYING ON TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1 3RD PRINT (THIRD, NOT FIRST OR SECOND) FROM MIRAGE COMICS. THE ONLY THING THAT ONE COULD CONSIDER A DEFECT IS THE SMALL BINDERY TEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF A COUPLE OF PAGES(IT WAS PRINTED ON THE CHEAPEST PAPER POSSIBLE, WHICH AT THE TIME WAS NEWSPRINT AND NOT VERY STRONG) AND A COUPLE OF BINDERY ROLL SCUFFS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BACK COVER. THESE WERE PRESENT WHEN THE BOOK WAS PURCHASED 38 YEARS AGO. AN OVERALL ROCK SOLID COPY!
