One thing I missed before buying this is the fact that it's in one of those slabs without an inner well. Thank goodness it avoided damage like a cover detachment during the ship. Whomever thought this slab design was a good idea should have their head examined The answer for the OP is cover B. Gil Kane is simply the GOAT!!!

Ken Aldred Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Of the two options offered, B is a classic cover. I also like Romita's Mysterio cover as well. B vs Marvel Tales 130 would've been a tougher comparison. Edited April 17, 2018 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they in a specific place? 2 hours ago, 01TheDude said: interesting-- I'll have to check mine. Are they in a specific place? Yes. On the 67s they typically emanate from the reading edge. On the front cover, from the right edge inward, about 2 to 3 inches up from the bottom being the typical place. They're usually sizable as well, in the 2 to 3 inch range in total. And also as is typical, almost mirroring the same exact place as on the front cover, except on the back cover, this time from the left edge inward, again 2 to 3 inches up from the bottom edge and typically of about the same 2+ inch range in length. I've noted many 67s with them, sometimes more than 1 pleat, in parallel, and I've never seen one CGC graded that surpassed 9.2 that had a pleat or pleats. I can only assume that the CGC interprets it as tangible defect rather than manufacturing defect because I have had the occasion to compare a 9.2 with the pleats, side by side with a 9.6 without the pleats, and aside from one book having them and one not, the two books were precisely equal in appearance. Also, I can't say I remember ever seeing a book with pleats (printing creases) graded higher than 9.2 by the CGC, even if that was the only apparent defect.

Marvel reprinted this in the 70's on Vault of Evil 6 with a maroon background instead. I was a child when it hit the newsstands, and it really grabbed me!
