This is a mid grade item. It will have a few minor defects and will generally appear to be in "slightly used" but not "roughly used" condition. Most comics, magazines, and books published in the past 30 years that have been read but carefully handled and stored will fall in this grade range. Allowed defects for this grade include: minor corner wear (bends and blunting), a light accumulation of spine wear that may include color-breaking stresses, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than one quarter inch in length. Some color breaking is allowed in a bend or fold in this grade range.

Issue #1 - July-August 1974. Amazing World of DC Comics was a regrettably short-lived (17 issues) magazine that published interviews, previously unpublished stories, humorous pieces, articles on DC super-heroes, and other DC-centric items of interest. Contributors included such luminaries as Mike Gold, Paul Levitz, E. Nelson Bridwell, and Bob Rozakis. This first issue includes the following: an interview with Joe Kubert, a piece on the Wonder Woman TV movie, Sol Harrison on the beginnings of DC Comics, Bob Rozakis on letter writers, a retrospective by E. Nelson Bridwell, a previously unpublished story called "Murder, Inc." by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer, How a Comic Book is Created by Paul Levitz, a retrospective on the Fleischer Superman cartoons and more. Cover by Carmine Infantino, back cover of Hawkman by Joe Kubert. Centerfold by Michael Kaluta of the Shadow. 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, black and white.
