Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) would likely exceed the final market value of the book.
Notable Features
French language edition. Features photo cover of the original cast from the 1960s TV show. Identifying text 'PRIX: 1 F.' (1 Franc) indicates French distribution.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1960s French magazine-style comic. Paper aging and ink saturation are consistent with European pulp stock of that era. Note the '1966' copyright line to NBC.
