The comic displays multiple moderate defects consistent with a mid-low grade: blunted and creased corners (all four), numerous color-breaking spine ticks with possible minor splitting at the lower staple, chips/tears along the bottom edge, minor staple rust, and an overall faded, slightly soiled cover with reduced gloss. These accumulate to a 'Very Good+' (4.5) grade as significant corner, edge, and spine wear is present, but the comic remains structurally intact with no major tears or large creases. Note: Presented photo was taken through a bag with some glare and surface distortion, so some defects may not be visible or are understated.
