Lots of pictures so YOU can judge condition. I estimate it''s probably better than an 8.5 (VF+). Scripted by Steve Englehart and drawn by Don Heck, this comic is entitled "The Lion God Lives". The cover also has an allusion to the "end" of an Avenger. My lips are sealed--you''ll have to buy the book to figure out that it''s Natasha. I will tell you this issue is a KEY because it''s the first appearance of Mantis. Lots of fun. Better yet, as my title suggests, this comic is in SUPERB condition. I''ve said-don''t take my word for it, be your own judge. Check out the pics and ask for more if necessary. If you decide to add this book to your collection, I entertain reasonable offers. Furthermore, all my comics have a board and bag AND I package carefully to avoid damage in shipping.
