Hello, how would you fine folks grade this cosmic comic book? Thanks all for your time and efforts!

I see some light vertical "color breaking" lines on the front cover, but these look like printing defects. I can't tell what that line is on the bottom left of the back cover. A crease? A manufacturers crease? I'd want to make sure to know what that is before sending it for grading. Overall appearance, especially with a black cover, I think 8.5±0.5. I would bet on the over if the defects listed are production related.

Yeah pretty difficult to tell what that line is BL BC. Pretty smooth to the touch but you can feel a little something, does not break the paper, very difficult to see on the inside back cover. Good eye! Still no clue what it is though. Thanks for the estimate!

IMO those aren't color braking creases, from what I see they're dirt that can be cleaned/pressed away. 

However I have a concern about the cover lower right corner. Assuming my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, I'm either seeing 1/4" crease or a colour touched 1/4" crease.

If there's nothing there I would say this book is a possible 9.4-9.8

If it's a crease I'm seeing the book's a 9.0

If it's color touched than the book's a purple label 9.0

There’s a small diagonal non colour breaking crease on the corner there, no colour touch though.
