Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (shipping, fees) would likely exceed the market value of a 6.0 copy. It is better kept as a raw collector's item.

Bronze Age DC war comic with iconic Joe Kubert cover art and interior work. Features the 'The Line of DC Super-Stars' logo. Contains typical 20-cent cover price for the era.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1974 print based on the paper aging, '20c' price circle, and the specific dot-matrix printing patterns visible in the Joe Kubert signature area. No signs of restoration are visible from the exterior.
