Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading/shipping would exceed the market value of the book in this condition. Recommended as a 'reader copy' or for personal collection in its current state.
Notable Features
Features the second appearance of El Jaguar. Iconic 'Season's Greetings'/New Year-themed banner at the bottom of the cover despite the April cover date. Includes a classic Gil Kane action layout.
Authentication Notes
Standard Bronze Age Marvel materials. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting visible. The 25-cent price point and 'Marvel Comics Group' top banner are consistent with 1975 production.
