The comic comes bagged and boarded and is from a smoke-free and pet-free home. All comics will be securely packaged to ensure that you receive them in the expected condition. Please review the scanned images included in the listing for the condition of the comic. The scans show the actual comic that you will receive. I do not use stock photos. Any grade assigned is an estimated grade, intended only to assist you with an opinion based on experience. Please understand that if I miss something, it was an oversight and not intentional, and I will work with you to promptly correct the issue. Please contact me before initiating return.
