The Horror, Crime, Shock And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. It is complete, it's all attached, and supple, and very presentable. There are the requisite bumps and dings, but it's very clean, bright and glossy. After seven decades, incredibly, the paper inside is unmolested, clean and supple and off-white to white, with no creases. It presents very well but does have some thin little creases, here and there, around the edges of the front cover, and just a hint of a center crease, visible when held at the right angle under the light. The back cover is flat and uncreased, but there is a small edge tear at the left center, and some minor indentations and spine-stresses, (you can tell it has never been pressed.) Please see all of the photographs, as you can see the condition well. This will be carefully packaged very thoroughly to ensure safe delivery. HOT UNRESTORED PRE-CODE EC HORROR COMIC.
