The comic presents very well, with strong colours, clean-looking pages and only light visible handling or storage wear. It has been stored in a protective comic bag.

Please note that the 9.2 Near Mint sticker is an old comic-shop assessment on the outer bag only. The comic has not been independently graded or slabbed, so no professional grade is guaranteed.

Please review all photographs carefully for the exact condition. It will be supplied bagged, boarded and securely protected for postage.
