Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading exceed the market value of the book. It is a French-language reprint and does not hold the same investment value as the original Marvel US Silver Age issues.
Notable Features
Canadian French Edition; notable for being a 'Format Double' which means it contains reprints of two original US issues in one book. Features the 'EH' logo for Editions Héritage.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Editions Héritage copy. Characterized by thinner pulp paper and distinct French-language cover blurbs ('Un Thriller Inattendu!'). Staple placement appears consistent with mass-market Quebec reprints of the era.
