For your kind consideration is this copy of Strange Adventures #217 from 1969. This issue features a Neal Adams cover. The Adam Strange story, "The Secret of the Eternal City," was written by Gardner Fox and penciled by Mike Sekowsky. The Atomic Knights story, "The Rise of the Atomic Knights," was written by John Broome and penciled by Murphy Anderson.  

Look, we've all had it happen. You purchase a comic book on some selling platform, whether it's an auction site or live selling app. You're all excited because you got the book for a "steal" (the seller even said so). You then receive the book in the mail only to discover that the centerfold is detached or the MVS is missing or there's staining/tanning/foxing on the back cover that the seller never revealed in their description. Well, that won't happen here. I reveal every noticeable defect on every raw book I sell. I provide numerous pics of the book from various angles. I also give you an idea of the grade of the book. In other words, I'm as transparent as possible, all the time, every time.          

In the title, I refer to the condition of this book as "VG/FN 5.0ish." Translation: were you to send this book in to be professionally graded and slabbed, I estimate it would come back somewhere between a 4.5/VG+ (very good plus) and a 5.5/FN- (fine minus). Please understand, I am NOT a professional grader. This is only MY best guess, based on hundreds of submissions to CGC, of the grade of this book, nothing more. I share this grade estimate to give you a better understanding as to the condition of the book and because I'm just that nice. 

As evidenced by the pics I have provided, here are the noticeable flaws with this book: several spine stress lines on each cover (pics 1-4 & 11), ink loss/color rub spine front cover (pics 1, 3 & 4), small, color-breaking creases top & right edge, bottom right corner front cover (pics 1, 3-6). The book is complete and the staples are tight at the cover and centerfold (pic 12). Please view all 12 pics I have provided to help you determine YOUR grade estimate for this book, thanks. 

FYI, I include a free, raw mystery book with every purchase, usually from the same title...just a little incentive for you, that's all.

Your newly acquired copy of Strange Adventures #217 will be shipped to you, via USPS ground advantage mail, no later than the day after receiving payment (unless, of course, that day is a Sunday), bagged, boarded, swaddled in a feathery bed of bubble wrap and secured within a Gemini comic book mailer.
