HELLO-
UP FOR BIDDING:

THE SPIRIT #22-(QUALITY COMICS 1950)-CLASSIC WILL EISNER COVER

FRONT AND BACK COVERS HAVE BEEN NEATLY TAPED AROUND THE PERIMETERS OF ALL 4 SIDES
TYPICAL TAPE JOB OF HALF OF THE WIDTH OF THE TAPE ON THE FRONT FOLDED OVER TO OTHER HALF OF TAPE ON BACK (SEE PHOTOS)
THIS IN AN OLD METHOD OF ATTEMPTING TO PRESERVE COVER EDGES
APPEARS TO BE MAGIC TAPE, CIRCA 1980s, AND COULD POSSIBLY BE REMOVED

FRONT COVER ALSO HAS A NUMBER OF MODERATE TO HEAVY CREASES
MOST ARE DIAGONAL IN NATURE AND MOST ARE TOWARDS THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER, BUT ALSO INTO IMAGE
LARGEST DIAGONAL CREASE IS THRU BOOK, BUT MAINLY AFFECTING COVERS AND NOT SO MUCH TO THE INTERIOR
UPPER RIGHT CORNER ALSO HAS A DIAGONAL CREASE THRU BOOK, AFFECTING INTERIOR MORE THAN ABOVE MENTIONED CREASE

THERE IS SOME LIGHT TO MILD HUMIDITY TYPE SPOTTING TO FRONT COVER IMAGE AND LOGO, MAINLY NOTICEABLE WHEN HELD IN LIGHT AT CERTAIN ANGLES
BOOK ALSO HAS A BIT OF A WRINKLED FEEL, POSSIBLY FROM SOME OLD HUMIDITY EFFECT AND DOES NOT QUITE LAY FLAT, PROBABLY DUE TO TAPED BORDERS
GIVEN SOME TIME AND PRESSURE, WOULD PROBABLY FLATTEN OUT

THERE IS SOME OLD CRITTER NIBBLING ALONG TOP LEFT BORDER OF FRONT COVER AND APPROX. FIRST 4 PAGES, NOT HORRIBLE, BUT TO BE NOTED
WITH REGARD TO THE FRONT COVER, THE NIBBLING IS OLDER AND IS UNDER THE TAPE (SEE PHOTOS)

OTHERWISE GREAT COLORS AND NICE GLOSS
NICE INTERIOR WITH ABOVE AVERAGE OFF WHITE PAPER QUALITY
COMPLETE, OVERALL AROUND FAIR/GOOD

SCARCE AND CLASSIC!
