Description: This book is loaded with first appearances. Debut issue of Marvel's G. I. Joe A Real American Hero. This is a first print newsstand copy, the first ever to hit the shelves back in 1982. I am by no means a comic book grader, but I would consider this to be somewhere this a collector grade copy. Probably in the 7-7.5 out of 10 range. There are no rips or tears, all pages are there. Spine has some dings but is tight. There is discoloring along the spin on back cover and there is a bit of a dogear crease in the upper left corner. i tried to capture these in closeups. Pages have yellowed. I do my best to accurately describe and photograph all major areas of concern. Please ask any questions and make specific pic request before offering/purchasing. Comic comes bagged and boarded and inside a stiffer more durable poly sleeve. Key Facts 1st team appearance of G.I. Joe 1st appearance of Snake-Eyes, an Arashikage-trained ninja (G.I.
