He bought them off the rack as a child in the 1940s and 50s. They stayed carefully tucked away in the same home since that time. The first time they were handled or moved is when they were put into a tub when his house was cleaned out after his death. This was not done by us but was mostly done carefully and only a few appeared to be damaged in the process. The original owner had no spouse or children and no other living family, so many of his things came to us. Included in this collection are many Dell Four Color and Disney titles, including a nearly complete run of Uncle Scrooge and a very long run of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, and many Captain Marvel Adventures and Marvel Family comics from the 1950’s. About Me: I used to be an avid comic collector. I always had a copy of the Overstreet guide and was always on the lookout for comics on my wish list. I even worked in a comic book store for about a year when I was in college. That was a long time ago. I never lost the love of comics, but the space to store a big collection became problematic and I sold my very large collection in the late 1980’s. I just never started collecting again. About This Listing: Publisher, series, issue, and title: SHAZAM! Vol. 1 No. 3 June 1973 "A Switch in Time” First impression: The spine creases will hurt this one which is otherwise near mint. Degree of gloss: High gloss. Condition of cover: Nothing, really, that isn’t specific to the corners or the spine, except a small amount of handling stress to the top edge. Corners: Bottom right corner has a tiny crease; top right is nearly perfect. The left corners have just perceptible wear. Spine and staples: Bottom staple is nice and shiny, top staple discolored; both are close to centered. There is slight wear around the staples. The spine has five stress lines that I can see. Four of them break the color. Original staples: Yes. Interior staples: Discolored, tight and centered. Paper color and condition: Cream and supple. Smell: Slightly sweet, pastries. Interior condition: Really pretty. If I had to give it a grade: 7.5 Very Fine- I am not a professional comic book grader, but I have done my best to describe and photograph the comic being offered in this listing. Thanks for looking and have a beautiful day.
