The 11 books: #156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 163, 164, 166, 167 and 169.

- #156 and #157: end of the Mangog saga ("Behind Him... Ragnarok!")
Not included: #162, #165 and #168. The run is not complete.
PHOTOS: photo 01 shows all 11 fronts and photo 02 all 11 backs. Photos 03-13 are each cover in issue order, 14-16 are close-ups of the worst flaws, and 17-24 are back covers.
CONDITION. The flaws, first (graded from the photos):
- #169 is the most worn copy (about VG-): small splits in the spine at both staples and chipping along the spine edge (photos 13 and 14).
- #157 (about VG): wear and creasing at the lower left corner (photos 04 and 16).
- #164 (about VG): a small chip on the left edge and a crease at the lower left (photos 10 and 15).
- #159, #163 and #167 (about VG): spine stress, edge wear and light creases.
- Books were photographed in their bags; the light reflections are the bags, not the covers.
Strengths: #161 (about FN-), #166 (about VG/FN) and #156, #158 and #160 (about VG+) present well with good color. Every back cover is shown, and the coupon ads on those backs are intact. Please see all 24 photos.
SHIPPING: free. Books bagged and boarded and shipped in a box. Ships within 3 business days.
RETURNS: 30 days. Selling my father's collection; questions welcome.
