Avengers #141 (1975)
QUICK NOTES:
- First issue of the Avengers penciled by George Pérez
- This is the first George Perez Avengers art and only his second comic issue ever! (His first was a 2-pages humor strip in Astonishing Tales (Deathlok #25 (1974). His style hadn't gelled yet, but by his next issue Perez was already getting a mastery of drawing.
- This cover has been parodied and homaged many times with other characters assuming the poses of the figures on this cover. See Avengers Vol 3 #6 (Jul 1998) for an example.
CONDITION:
Overall, very nice copy! Light spine and corner wear. See the pics to tell if it meets your individual collecting criteria. Lies flat, complete & uncut, solid staples, great color throughout, glossy cover. I personally believe it shows very well bagged and boarded. (More pictures or images available upon request.)
** MIP:
I have added MicroChamber Interleaving Paper (MIP) to help preserve this book. This is a very thin 100% cotton MicroChamber Interleaving Paper that is infused with proprietary SPZ Zeolite and is the only paper that absorbs acid from paper. It is the same paper used by CGC to preserve graded and encased comics and magazines This will help prevent degradation of the paper over time.
** MYLAR BAG:
This book is also protected in a Mylar bag (that will last longer than the basic Polypropylene bags; it won't need to be replaced) and archival backing board.
PACKAGING:
All books are bagged and boarded with clean bags and boards. I will package your new book, sandwiched between cardboard, within a comic mailer, and it will be sent via USPS Ground Advantage, which is 2-3 days delivery. Slabbed comics will be sent bubble-wrapped inside a Priority Mail box package. Orders will ship by the day after payment is received. International orders will also be placed within a bubble mailer.
STORAGE & HANDLING:
Kept in clean, smoke free, air-conditioned environment. Bagged and boarded. Cared for. I always wash my hands before any contact with comics. I handle super-glossy books or dark covers or pages with cotton gloves.
PICTURES:
Buyer should view photos for condition details. I have tried to include as many pictures as necessary to show any defects/issues. Message me if you have any questions or need additional photos. I want you to have as much information as possible about the condition of the comic. I will take additional pictures as needed.
PAYMENT:
Your prompt payment for auction item wins is appreciated! Unless you contact me first, please make your payment within 72 hours of placing your order or from the close of an auction. If you would like more time, especially if you see another soon-ending auction of mine that you are interested in, just email me and let me know what you're thinking. I'm reasonable. However, I do reserve the right to cancel and relist unpaid items. I generally try to contact auction winners who do not pay, but I cannot guarantee that I will.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
I will combine shipping into one invoice for items that are purchased close to one another. Generally, I ask for $0.50 per additional book. When buying 2 or more comics... Please use a browser to request a combined shipping invoice before paying. You may also send me a message via eBay asking that I combine your purchases. If something happens and you don't get combined shipping, get in touch and let me know. We'll figure it out.
BEST OFFERS:
I am happy to field offers and I almost always respond Yes/No/Counter with two exceptions:
1) I do not generally reply to offers within 24 hours of an auction's start time. I would like to allow enough people to see the listing before I make a decision on offers.
2) I will not necessarily respond to offers I believe to be low-ball offers. For example, if I have an auction starting at $100 and you offer me $15, I'm probably not going to respond. It makes me feel like we're just too far apart.
FEEDBACK:
Your satisfaction is paramount! I'm just a collector selling to other collectors, but I never intend to to trick anyone. Flaws I'm aware of will be pictured and/or mentioned above. Let me know if you have an issue and we'll figure it out. Each buyer will receive positive feedback at the end of every successful payment and I would appreciate positive feedback in return! :)
