Tales to ASTONISH #53. The ORIGIN of The PORCUPINE. (GIANT-MAN and The WASP) cover by. STAN LEE & Larry Lieber. Dick Ayers & Don Heck & Larry Lieber. A March 1964 issue. Below for complete information. On the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue. Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free board. Until submission to CGC in July of 2021! (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products). It was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and. Stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time by CGC! And although this copy got a relatively low grade, it looks quite nice – as you can see in the 12 photos that accompany the listing. Check THEM out, along with the COMPLETE text of the CGC Grader Notes – specified below!! This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, and it NEVER will as long as I own it! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade plus creator and content details, and all the corners, edges and ends of the new CGC case. The CGC Grader Notes specified the blemishes that resulted in the 6.5 grade. They were (in their entirety). Spine stress lines breaks color. “Light creasing to cover”. Light staining to cover. Very small tear right center of front cover. With Off-White to WHITE PAGES, a bright and reflective cover with fairly sharp and unfaded colors, and with noted blemishes that you can closely evaluate in the 12 high resolution photos I’ve included with the listing – I think you’ll come to the conclusion that this copy looks quite nice for a 6.5!
