Notable Features
Features the 25th Anniversary Marvel border and logo. Notable for the progression of Quicksilver's villainous turn and the pregnancy of the Scarlet Witch which is a major plot point in this series.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1980s copper age Marvel comic. Proper dot-matrix printing and aging on the paper stock (off-white to white pages) are consistent with books from this era. Standard Direct Edition UPC barcode in the bottom left corner.
