Description: PLEASE NOTE: I’m not a professional grader but have over 40 years of collecting, trading & selling comic books & other collectibles. Please read description in 3rd paragraph. Please view all photos & ask any questions you may have. Grading is not a science. The impact or the importance of flaws to a book can vary from person to person. I may feel a faint water stain on the back cover is minor where someone else feels it’s more of a major defect. What I may think is a 6.0 or 6.5 someone else may think it’s a 5.0 or 5.5. I try to note what I feel are the most notable of defects and give honest grade ranges. I’m not trying to hide anything, I just may think something is not as major as someone else. Please do not purchase if you disagree or like to debate grade ranges. Purchase professionally graded comics then. I see the poorly graded comics listed out there. Also it is not my concern how the book can possibly be improved or not improved by a pressing, cleaning or any other restoration. Thank you and sorry for the rant. Offered up from my personal collection is a “RARE” MONSTERS UNLEASHED #3. Published by Marvel Comics in 1973. (Black & White Magazine) Story by Steve Skeates, art by Herb Trimpe & Tom Sutton with cover by “industry legend” Neal Adams. The Man-Thing begins (origin reprint). Son of Satan preview. Frankenstein article & photos. Vintage “KEY” MONSTERS UNLEASHED issue and a “MUST HAVE” for any Marvel Comics and MAN-THING completist/collector. In my estimation the magazine ranges in “NICE” (4.5) VERY GOOD+ to (5.5) FINE- condition with dark cream to slightly tan pages. Some significant moderate wear to cover, spine, corners & edges. Tiny chip at bottom left corner, faint water stain top right corner, faint bend/wrinkle/ripple right middle edge that impacts entire magazine, blue distribution stripe overspray on top edge & back cover and magazine has age discoloration/staining/soiling. A tight, sharp, bright & glossy looking copy. There are no other glaring flaws to note, that is not typical to books falling under the indicated grade ranges or visible in pictures. I am not a professional grader but grade very conservatively using The Overstreet Price Guide as reference and my 40+ years of comic book collecting/selling experience. Pictures are of the actual book you will receive. No stock photos. All books come bagged & boarded. Books are packed with care by a lifelong collector. All books are shipped “FREE” of charge. Books are boxed shipped using USPS Priority Mail and includes tracking & insurance. PLEASE NOTE: Items $500 and over will require signature confirmation. All sales are final. No returns. Please contact with any questions or concerns. As a seller feedback will be left once buyer receives item, is satisfied and leaves feedback. Thanks for checking out my listing. Add me to your favorites as I slowly start selling off my personal collection with many books purchased at time of publication, read once and stored for decades.
