Condition

Apparent front-cover condition: GD/VG. Age toning and spotting, ring-shaped marks near the top, cover creasing, edge wear and spine rubbing are visible. Assessment is based on the supplied front-cover scan only; the back cover, binding and interior completeness have not been physically verified. No claim is made that a fold-in, insert or other interior feature is intact. Please request additional photographs or condition details if needed.

The scan shows the actual copy offered, including any old retailer stamps or price markings. These historical markings are not the current Comic Moon selling price. This listing is for the physical magazine.

Individual issues

Most single issues we upload are new, or selected in the best condition available to us. Vintage copies still have age-related wear: please check the individual listing’s grade, description and scans. We aim for higher-grade examples where possible, and prices reflect condition. A general description is not a guarantee of mint condition.

Common condition abbreviations

NM · Near Mint
Very well preserved, with only minor wear or small defects.
VF · Very Fine
An attractive copy with a moderate defect or several smaller ones.
FN · Fine
More visible wear, which may include a significant defect or several smaller ones.
VG / G · Very Good / Good
Increasingly noticeable handling wear and defects. Read the specific listing closely.

These are broad explanations of common terms, not third-party certification. See the CGC grading scale for a detailed reference.

Mystery bags, bundles & older British comics

Mystery bags and bundles may include comics with markings or more noticeable wear. Older British comics sometimes have a customer’s name or address written in pen or pencil by a newsagent when reserving their copy. These period markings are part of some surviving copies; please check the listing rather than assuming every copy is unmarked.

You’re welcome to ask for more photos

Want a closer look at a spine, corner, back cover or handwritten marking? We welcome requests for extra photographs and condition details before you order. For mystery selections, we can explain the typical condition, although the exact contents may vary.

All comics are supplied bagged and boarded. Any specific condition notes in the listing take priority over this general guide.
