Good

Pre-owned vintage mixed comic lot with moderate overall reading and handling wear. Photo covers show surface rubbing, light soiling, edge wear and corner rounding, with small chips and short tears at some corners and outer edges, especially Burke's Law No. 1 and Twice Told Tales. Page edges are browned throughout with age toning and scattered small spots and stains on several ad pages. Twice Told Tales includes a short tear along the outer margin of an interior black and white photo page. Bindings remain intact with staples securing covers and interiors, and stories and advertisements are complete and legible.</
