Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes No. 253

This is a vintage Bronze Age comic book from DC Comics titled 'Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes,' issue number 253, published in July 1979. The cover artwork features Superboy encountering the 'League of Super-Assassins,' including characters like Blok, Neutrax, Mist Master, Titania, Silver Slasher, and Lazon. The issue originally retailed for 40 cents. Physically, the comic shows visible signs of age and wear. The front cover displays significant creasing and spine stress lines, which are common for magazines of this era made from pulp paper stock. There is a prominent diagonal crease running across the center of the cover. The colors, while still relatively vibrant, show some fading, and the paper has likely begun to yellow. The item is currently house in a protective plastic polybag, which appears wrinkled and adds glare to the image. This issue is notable for featuring a script by Gerry Conway and cover art by Joe Staton and Dick Giordano. The condition appears to be in the 'Low to Mid' grade range due to the heavy creasing and spine wear.
