Not recommended for professional grading. The grading fees and shipping would likely exceed the total value of the book in this condition. Best kept as a raw reader or collection filler.
Notable Features
Silver Age Marvel comic. Features the mid-60s 'Cap's Kooky Quartet' era lineup with the addition of Goliath and the Wasp. Iconic Don Heck cover art.
Authentication Notes
The 12-cent price point and 'IND' marking are consistent with an authentic 1967 Marvel Silver Age comic. The paper oxidation and ink saturation on the cover appears consistent with age.
