Notes on condition from Seller:
Comic
Book Grading is very subjective and open to a wide margin of interpretation; therefore,
we no longer post a grade on our comics in most cases. This book is 30 years old and looks really,
really good for its age. As you can see
in the photos, there are no major defects on the front or back covers and they
still feel “glossy”. Interior pages are only very slightly yellow with colors remaining vivid.
I would grade this between a 7.5-8.5.
Please look at the pictures carefully before you bid as all of this is my
opinion and you may disagree.
Packing:
All the comics we sell come bagged and
boarded and are placed between two stiff pieces of cardboard. We also note "Do
Not Bend" on the outside. These will be sent in a large flat rate envelope.
We want you to receive your book in the same shape we sent it in!

“The darkness that blankets this city is nothing.
Nothing! Not compared to the shroud that Spider-Man pulled over me! He stole my
life... shattered it... then cast it aside like yesterday's news! So it is only
fitting, only fair, that I do the same to him! And I will. Very... very...
soon!”
