From the pedigree River City collection. Classic face melting cover by
Al Feldstein with interior work by Wally Wood, Jack Kamen, George Evans
and Joe Orlando. Full deep color strike with tight clean spine and
excellent overall eye appeal. Flat and tight with a 1-inch tear and
minor chips on bottom edge of back cover.
What more can be said of this classic book? This copy is taken from the
publisher Bill Gaines' own files (4/12). Not surprisingly, it is the highest
graded copy. And at CGC 9.8 you can safely bet none higher will ever
appear. Certificate of Authenticity included.
NETWORK OF DISCLOSURE NOTE: In 2003, this copy was previously in an older CGC label and graded a 9.6. CGC regraded it in or around 2004 as a 9.8.
Those crazy E.C. folks printed the interior of this book intentionally
upside down! Good thing Gaines kept this second best copy around so
that it could be available 50 years later.
