Very good copy of DC Comics GHOSTS, volume 4, issue number 32, from 1st November 1974.
Please see photos fo a fuller visual description of condition.
In excellent condition. No marks, stains, tears.
Very good spine with only some light horizontal surface crease marks and slight grubbiness on back.
Front cover strong and bright, near perfect, tiny amount of rolling to corners.
Other very minor signs of handling and storage - two tiny horizontal dints next to the "32", the lightest vertical crease below "Those hats are cursed!" from turning the cover page.
Has faint T&P circular price stamp of 8p in the middle of the red hat. A few very, very tiny nibbles/splits along the open edge, not at first visible to the naked eye.
Staples present, intact, no discolouration inside or out.
Back cover bears two small blue/grey marks around the "25 Sixth Prizes" and "175 Seventh Prizes" text, but not enough to obscure the ad.
Light crease to top corner. On closer inspection with my magnifying glass, there are a few minute horizontal splits along the open edge, but the largest of these is barely 2mm, and the smallest doesn't even make a millmetre, so nothing terribly significant.
All pages clean, tightly bound, 4 of the 16 pages have miniscule splits/nibbles on their bottom edges.
I am no comic expert, but I would have thought this is about as good as it gets, unless a comic has never been handled or read at all, and has been kept in careful storage straight off the press. It isn't what I would regard as "mint", but I would have thought it could easily be categorised as "near mint".
This issue is listed on US sites as being on sale for $16, for lower graded condition than this one, so I'm looking for offers in the region of £10.
