Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for professional grading unless a personal favorite. The value increase for a 6.0 grade barely offsets the costs of grading fees and shipping.

Notable for iconic Neal Adams cover art. Features a 'Bonnie and Clyde' themed story during the height of the film's popularity.
Authentication Notes
Original 12-cent cover price; features the 'DC National' circle logo and Comics Code Authority seal. Paper stock and ink saturation appear consistent with 1968 DC Silver Age production.
