Condition Note

• Visual Appeal: The cover colors are exceptionally bright and pop against the black space-themed background.

• Provenance: This copy includes a vintage newsagent price/delivery sticker ("Roberts / Wolton") in the top right corner, adding a nice touch of authentic 1980s history.

• Wear: Shows minor shelf wear and typical light tanning to the edges of the newsprint pages, consistent with a well-preserved comic of this age.
