The Incredible Hulk #230.  With work done by Bob Layton and Jim Mooney, this issue features an appearance by General Ross.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better.  There is light blunting of the spine corners (especially the top one, which has a small edge bend), as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink.  The front cover shows a couple of very mild bend creases/indentations through the letters ‘L’ and ‘K’ in ‘Hulk’ that can be pressed, as well as a production wrinkle at the center of the right page edge.  There is also a small dimple on the black border of the letter ‘K’ that barely breaks the ink.  The back cover shows a few spots of very light soiling and/or ink transfers around the white background.  There is a very mild spine roll that can be pressed out.  Pages are off-white to white.

The Incredible Hulk #231.  With work done by Herb Trimpe and Sal Buscema, this issue features an appearance by Moonstone.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better.  This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and no tears at the staples (top staple has very light oxidation). There is very light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink.  The front cover shows a few very mild edge bends on the right page edge.  The bottom right corner of the book shows either light blunting to all the pages, or just a funky production cut.  There is a very mild spine roll that can be pressed.  Pages are off-white to white.

Whoops!!!  I'm out of sequence here!!! doh!

The Incredible Hulk #229.  With work done by Sal Buscema and Herb Trimpe, this issue features the 2nd appearance of the new Moonstone.

I believe this comic to be in Very Good/Fine condition, or better.  This comic shows very light wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink.  The front cover shows light blunting of the page corners, as well as an ink breaking bend crease near the bottom page corner.  The back cover shows a 1/4-inch tear (or smaller) near the top spine corner, along with a mild bend through the same corner.  Both covers show some very mild indentations/tracing marks/finger bends that can be pressed out.  The is a moderate spine roll that takes the comic out of alignment, but I think it can be fixed.  Pages are off-white.

Omega, The Unknown #8.  With cover art by Gil Kane, this issue features the 1st brief appearance of the second Foolkiller, as well as the 2nd appearance of Nitro.

As you can see in the scans, especially the top spine corner area, there's ink and paper wear on the spine caused by moisture damage that left a stain.  The back cover is pretty filthy too, so I'm going to throw this comic in for.......

Power Man #20, Gil Kane cover.  This issue features an appearance by Cornell Cottonmouth.  Marvel Value Stamp #1, Spider-Man, is still attached.

I believe this comic to be in Good plus condition, give or take.  It would grade a bit higher, but a few of the spine creases have torn through the cover (not interior pages), the spine roll, the writing on the cover, AND the tape on the cover with writing.  I'll not go into details about all the defects...they can be seen in the scans.  Oh, and the cover does shift a bit at the staples, but is still attached.  Pages are off-white to white.

Red Sonja #6.  Frank Thorne is credited with most of the work on this comic.

I believe this comic to be in Good plus condition, or better.  This comic shows very light wear on the spine and minute tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a number of spine stress creases/ticks that lightly break the ink.  A good deal of the stress creases are starting to tear through the cover, leaving mild stress creases on the first few wraps.  Both covers show some bend and edge creases that lightly break the ink.  The back cover shows a few tears at the bottom edge, along with some mild wrinkling along the spine.  All other defects can be seen in the scans.  Pages are cream to off-white.

There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a number of spine stress creases/ticks that lightly break the ink.  The top spine corner has a mild bend through it that very lightly breaks ink on both covers.  The front cover shows a small chip near the top spine corner, while the back cover shows one near the top left page corner.  The back cover also shows some discoloration over the guy’s face, but it’s difficult to see except at an angle.  There is a mild spine roll that can be pressed out.  All other defects can be seen in the scans.  Pages are off-white to white.
