Something happened at DC Comics around 2009 because the following comic is quite different to the others we are offering (we are not comic experts but it is easy to see the changes compared to the other issues we have from 1986-1987

Barcode is now printed on the front cover
Only USA price is indicated – no UK price
Printed label says “DIRECT SALES”
DC Comics company logo has changed substantially

The Warlord
DC Comics
Issue 2
July 2009

Stapled spine is sound
No writing or marks on the cover or inside
Until recently NOT stored in a plastic protective bag but I would describe this comic as being in very good condition
All pages are clean, with no tears
No pages are missing!
Paper has very light yellowing, not sure what the colour was before but presently they look just a LIGHT brown/yellow
Extremely small corner curl
No creasing observed at all

All of our comics are being disposed of because our son was a comic freak, he no longer lives in Australia so now our task is to find new homes for these comics. We are not comic freaks and the description is fair and true (from our perspective) as to this comic’s condition.

Because they were previously “unprotected/not in plastic” we have now placed each comic on a cardboard backing/support and then sealed it within a plastic bag and put them away in our home library out of harms way.
