Condition:
Photo shows the actual comic being offered and is part of the description.
A wide strip of yellow tape runs along the full spine, covering part of the front-cover artwork, corner box and price area. The tape obscures the underlying spine condition and cover attachment. Visible wear elsewhere includes edge rubbing, corner wear, small creases and surface scuffing. The upper-right corner shows abrasion and color loss, with additional rubbing along the bottom edge and lower corners.
No professional grade has been assigned. Only the front cover is shown, so interior page condition and completeness cannot be fully verified.
A significant Phoenix issue for collectors of Jean Grey, the X-Men and the Claremont–Cockrum era.
The comic will be carefully packaged to help protect it during shipping.
Thanks for looking!
