Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
A key issue from the Silver Age of Marvel Comics, collectible for its age, creative team, and the first appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. The condition appears to be good, with some notable wear, spine creasing, and edge stress visible on the cover. A solid mid-grade reader copy suitable for collectors, but without professional grading or preservation, value is below slabbed high-grade examples. A word about fakes..: While rarer in comic books than in coin or art markets, counterfeit or reprinted comics exist, but this appears to be an authentic period copy based on visible print, aging, price, and Comics Code stamp.
Individual Images:
The closeup of the cover shows moderate spine wear
blunted corners
small color loss spots
and a minor tear near the bottom left corner. Centering appears typical for era
staples show slight rust. No major staining or pieces missing from main art. Interior pages are not visible
so completeness and interior page quality/cutting cannot be assessed.
Provenance:
No provenance documentation provided; appears to be privately owned.
