Here's a weird issue that I've never seen before...... Wonderworld 5 1 1

This WW5 cover was in a "pieces lot" that I bought.  A couple covers, and a bunch of old pages.

It's definitely an original cover, but when I flipped it over the inside cover image had somehow been "peeled" off of the inside.  That kind of bummed me out.

But then later in the lot of pieces I found an "inside cover"  for WW5 covered with single wide piece of glossy tape.  

So.... I guess they wanted to make the inside cover blank so they put the "tape" down and then carefully peeled it apart?  I can't believe the entire cover didn't just tear apart.

I was thinking of buying a coverless copy to put with the cover.  Do you think I should glue the inside image back on or just leave everything alone at this point?

Let me get this straight... They peeled the inside of the cover off of the outside cover?

YES!!!!   Seems impossible, but remember.... GA covers are a little thicker.

I would probably glue them back together, if the goal is to have a 'complete' comic.

May as well glue them back together. If you ever find a cover less copy and decide to have it graded it’ll most likely get the “married cover” notation anyway but having a complete copy, graded or not, is still a nice addition to the collection imho
