📜 Authenticity & Provenance – Genuine Newsstand Edition
This is the original first print newsstand edition of West Coast Avengers #42, not a reprint or direct edition. Newsstand variants were distributed outside comic shops—often in grocery stores and convenience stores—and are less common in collectible condition today, making them highly desirable among discerning collectors.
📖 VG Condition – Clean, Collectible, and Classic
This comic is in VG (Very Good) condition, with moderate but respectful wear consistent with its age. Expect minor spine creasing, corner blunting, and some edge wear, but interior pages are complete and the cover maintains great color and gloss.
