The collection features a mix of distribution formats. Issues 4, 5, 6, 9, and 13 are direct market editions characterized by blank white boxes in the lower-left corner. Issues 22, 23, and 26 are newsstand editions featuring UPC barcodes. Cover prices range from 35 cents for the earlier issues to 40 cents for issues 23 and 26. All issues are presented in protective plastic sleeves with cardboard backing boards.
Condition report:
The comics appear to be in mid-grade condition. Visible defects include minor color-breaking spine stress, slight edge wear, and minor corner blunting consistent with age. Covers generally retain bright colors and original gloss. The items have not been removed from their protective sleeves for internal inspection, so page quality and potential hidden defects cannot be verified.
