Collectable Comic Appraisal

Marvel Super-Heroes Megazine, Issue #96

This item is a copy of Marvel Super-Heroes Megazine, specifically issue number 96, published in November (NOV). The comic book features a black cover with stylized illustrations of several Marvel characters. The prominent central figures are Daredevil and Black Widow, depicted in action. Around them, there are circular inserts featuring 'The Thing' (from Fantastic Four) in the upper right, Iron Man in the mid-right, and The Hulk in the lower right. The title 'MARVEL SUPER-HEROES MEGAZINE' is boldly displayed at the top, with 'MEGAZINE' in large yellow text. Above the main title, smaller text indicates other featured characters: 'FANTASTIC FOUR • HULK • IRON MAN • DAREDEVIL'. Key contents highlighted on the left side of the cover include 'THE HUMAN TORCH ON A MISSION FOR A DEAD MAN!', 'BULLSEYE ATTACKS DAREDEVIL AND THE BLACK WIDOW!', 'IRON MAN'S IDENTITY REVEALED!', and 'THE HULK SEPARATED FROM BRUCE BANNER!'. The issue number '96' is visible in a green box in the upper left corner, along with 'NOV' for November and a price of '$2.95 US / $3.75 CAN'. A barcode is present on the lower left, confirming it as a 'DIRECT EDITION'. The physical condition appears to be good to very good, with minimal visible wear, such as slight corner rounding or minor surface scuffs, consistent with a collectible comic book that has been handled but likely stored with care. It is enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve, suggesting an owner's effort to preserve its condition. The colors on the cover are vibrant, and the details are sharp. No significant tears, creases, or discoloration are overtly apparent. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced comic books from the era, featuring glossy paper for the cover and standard comic book printing. The artist's initials 'KM' (likely a signature) are visible near the bottom center of the cover artwork.
