Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of shipping and grading fees would likely exceed the total market value of the book in this mid-to-low grade condition.
Notable Features
Final issue of the original Aquaman series before it was cancelled (the title was continued in Adventure Comics). Interior art by the legendary Don Newton. Includes UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
The 35-cent price point, paper quality visible in the corner wear, and standard late-1970s DC logo font are consistent with an authentic 1978 original printing.
