Superman #146, Superman's life story, hints at Earth II. Nice solid low grade copy. Presents better than it is.

The scan only tells part of the story unfortunately. All and all, it looks ok for presentation purposes. You can see the defects. However, the centerfold has separated and the cover has also separated from the lower staple. Also some doodles on the back cover, although doesn't impact the grade at that level. G/G+, $8
