I recently found this Swamp Thing #50 in perfect condition, and was excited to add it to my collection… Later upon further inspection, I noticed it felt a bit lighter than the average comic book. I opened the book to find out it was missing the middle pages! despite its seemingly NM condition, it became evident that the missing pages must have fallen out due to a mis-stapling defect by the manufacturer. (My speculation) Further, I don’t believe this to be a restoration of any sort, due to no indication that this book was ever stapled on the spine. has anyone here ever encountered such a defect? Some one please help me understand…
