Barbie Fashion Comic Book Issue #15 (Marvel Comics)

This is a vintage Barbie Fashion comic book, issue number fifteen, published by Marvel Comics with a cover date of March 1992. The front cover features a vibrant, high-contrast illustration of Barbie and several friends lounging on colorful pool floats atop stylized green and white swirling water. Barbie is centrally positioned on a red raft, wearing a blue swimsuit and sunglasses. The cover artwork is signed by artists Amanda Conner and Jeff Albrecht in the lower-left quadrant. The comic displays the classic Marvel Comics Group logo in the upper-left corner, priced at $1.25 US / $1.50 CAN. Physically, the item shows signs of moderate wear consistent with its age. Notable condition issues include visible color breaking spine stresses, slight blunting of the corners, and minor edge wear particularly along the right side and bottom. There is a faint vertical crease or wave visible on the right-hand side of the cover. Despite these imperfections, the color saturation remains bright and the 'Barbie' masthead in pink and 'Fashion' in red are well-preserved. It features a standard UPC barcode in the lower-left corner, designating it as a direct edition or newsstand copy from the early 1990s Copper Age of comics. The paper appears to be standard newsprint for the era, which typically shows some oxidation over time.
