Estimated Grade: VF (8.0) to VF+ (8.5)

Why this grade

Excellent cover gloss

The black background still has strong shine and rich color, which is harder to maintain on dark covers.

Sharp top corners

Top corners are crisp with almost no rounding.

Minor bottom corner wear

Bottom front corner shows light rounding and a tiny amount of edge wear.

Clean spine

Spine appears straight with only faint stress lines and no large color-breaking creases.

Edge wear on back cover

Small dirt accumulation and light rubbing along the bottom back edge.

Interior pages

Pages appear off-white, which is very normal for a 1980 Marvel book.

Staples and structure

Book lays flat and staples appear tight and well-centered.



I don't sell many comics, but came across quite a few silver and bronze age marvel comics. I described them as accurately as possible, but I've never graded a comic and I don't know what to show/describe, so please look over the pictures and ask any questions.

I uploaded the pictures to chatgpt and this is its assessment. Thanks!
