Fantastic Four 77     6.5
Asking Price: $25

Really solid copy, with just some light edge wear (all edges, front & back) that are a combination of
slight impressions, small creases, soft corners, color rub/loss & soft corners.

X-Men 100 (30-cent variant)     5.0
Asking Price: $200  [SOLD!]

The spine has a lot of wear, including ticks and bends. Top of spine has a small impact ding.
LLC has a bend/crease. Some edge wear and light color rubs toward Nightcrawler’s foot. Slight drops of a residue beneath Beast’s foot - maybe food? I dunno - but reading the X-Men back in the day made a man hungry.
Back cover exhibits more spine wear/ticks/bends. Small tear, open edge, lower down. Some slight residue again at bottom edge area. Book is solid, despite noted flaws.

X-Men 221     9.2
Asking Price: $45  [SOLD!]

Looks like 5 light spine bends/ticks, with only one barely breaking color in the center of the book.
All four corners are nice. Probably not 9.8 razor sharp.
Back cover has 3 light NCB bends along the spine (2 toward the bottom). Small ink-transfer dot/drop near bottom edge, toward left corner. Likely improvable, if that’s your thing. LRC slightly soft.

Dr. Strange 1     5.0
Asking Price: $20  [SOLD!]

A lot of smaller defects, including a small tear just below the bottom staple, another tiny tear on the open edge (middle) and a small chip out of the LRC. Spine and edges have light wear in the form of slight bends and a few dings. Back cover looks clean, but diagonal bend, ULC and about a 1/4” tear at the bottom of the spine.

Strange Tales 179 (signed by Starlin)     4.5
Asking Price: $25  [SOLD!]

Everything is going swimmingly, looking at this copy, *until* you get to the LRC area of the cover, and you say, “Sunnova liquid stain!!” Book presents as an 8.0 to 8.5 copy but for the stain. It is evident through the book and on the back cover, LLC as well. Looks great in the bag & you can read it without damaging it! First Pip!

Black Panther 2    9.4
Asking Price: $220  [SOLD!]

Very nice copy, with John Romita Jr. sig (2006).
LLC has a hint of softness/color loss. Very, very light impression to the left of JrJr’s sig.
Back cover nearly flawless. Very light crescent-shaped bend to the right of the young man’s left hand on the chair. Decent shot at a 9.6, but probably not a 9.8
