Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Five Issues - Conditions the same unless noted: Issues 2 through 5 are Near Fine or better - no creases or shelfwear to speak of, sharp corners, bright colors with no fading. Seems almost unread. No. 1 has a bit of wear and has a small hole punched through the small Print Mint circular logo in the upper left corner with some tape strengthening same hole to rear corner.
