FromTheSkyDown Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Once again, I ask your opinions. This one might be a bit of a curve ball, as it is a British weekly magazine from the 1970s. Apparently, issue 8 is a major key issue as it contains the very first appearance of Betsy Braddock...a.k.a. Psylocke. The story is a Chris Claremont, Herb Trimpe & Fred Kida creation. Yeah..someone on Amazon is actually asking $499 for this. Wtf Anyway, here is my copy. I would really appreciate your thoughts as this will be leaving my collections as soon as possible... Front Cover... Back Cover, with print offset to right edge... Front cover damage... Psylocke Spread... Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It is definitely a rare in high grade book... I would love to have one eventually. What I mean is Congrats on the book ?I'm on my phone I'll try to analyze, I'd say 5.0. That's a great book to have FromTheSkyDown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean...being printed on a kind of newspaper, the covers suffer more so than those printed on glossy stock. They were especially prone to print offset in white areas. I'm pretty sure those marks on the back cover have always been there since new. Captain Britain eventually went to glossy covers before merging with the Spiderman weekly. I can't find my issue #1 anywhere and I definitely had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoKing Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm a 4.0 on this as the tear and dirt. Since it's a newspaper type it probably be hard to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
