Comic was photographed inside a clear plastic bag, which introduces glare and may conceal additional defects. Multiple color-breaking spine ticks and moderate spine stress are visible, consistent with moderate handling. Top and bottom right corners are blunt/dinged, edge wear and stress marks are evident along the top and left edges. Full cover gloss appears intact, but surface waviness or minor indentations are possible and partially masked by glare. No large creases, tears, or major stains are visible, but overall accumulated wear and handling defects are present and visible. The observed defects indicate a conservative grade of VG+ (4.5).
