Here is a wonderful find. I've been singing the theme song since I've gotten it. Takes me back - used to LOVE these comics. I've never seen this one though - and the CONDITION is SO good - I've only opened to take pics. Colors are vivid, pages crisp w/ no tears, marks or other issues.
NOTE: This is NOT a news stand copy. This is a DIRECT issue.
You find these going for hundreds, and yes, even THOUSANDS (see prices in last pic). Now this one has not been cryogenically frozen with the artist's hair but is up there in value.
I'm no expert, but this should sell for 2-3X my asking price.
Stored (Sealed) in a smoke free environment.
Pickup in Lombard preferred. Limited LOCAL Delivery or S&H available for an additional cost (TBD).
ENJOY!

An ongoing spinoff series, Mighty Mutanimals, features a team of supporting characters.
