Classics Illustrated #50 - Tom Sawyer - HRN 169 ~ This is a vintage copy of Classics Illustrated from the original Gilberton run and from the Gilberton Warehouse. It is in sound and complete readable condition but it has flaws commonly associated with aging pulp paper the worst of which will be described below. Looking for more Classics Illustrated? I usually have many issues including publisher fresh copies from the latest printing in my store!

Winter 1971, the 15th and last printing, stiff cover. 2nd art version, painted cover. This copy is solid and very nice, paper toned at edges: Fine/Very Fine. As always, grading of comics is subjective so check out my scan and be sure this copy would have a home in your collection before bidding or buying.

Vintage popular priced books, paperbacks, comic books, and magazines are subject to aging of the cheap internal paper, weakness or drying of the spine glue resulting in occasional loose pages, rusting of staples, and loss of original lamination (particularly early Dells). Previous bookseller's prices written lightly inside are typical and not considered a defect. I do not consider names written or stamped inside the book/magazine to be a serious defect but I note them if they are present. I do consider tape of any kind to be a serious defect and will only offer items with tape defects if they are particularly scarce or desirable. Previous seller's price tags may not be mentioned if unobtrusive.
