Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and ticks, noticeable corner blunting (especially top and bottom left), minor color-breaking creases, edge wear, and visible surface scuffing common for Dell's matte paper stock of the era.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (CGC 4.0): $45 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent ungraded mid-grade copies have sold between $12 and $30. High-grade (NM 9.4+) copies can fetch over $150 due to the interior Alex Toth art.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal sentimental value. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$40) would likely match or exceed the book's current market value at this condition level.
Notable Features
Interior art by the legendary Alex Toth; part of the extensive Dell 'Four Color' anthology series which introduced many TV and movie properties to comics; 10 cent cover price; features Johnny McKay and Dan Troop on the cover.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic Dell Four Color issue from 1960. Correct logo placement for Dell 'A Comic Magazine' era; appropriate wear on newsprint stock for its age.
