Description: This listing is for one original issue of the Marvel Feature book #1, 12/1970. The book is fully intact and unmarked internally, near Fine in overall condition, with minor handling and age, light wear and slight use. There is rubbing at the corner sections of the front cover, with a small paper break at the spine area. Since this comic is a 52-page giant-size, the spine has squared edges with lettering as a book does, such detractions are not considered uncommon. See images. The whole book is very solid, and nice, and still could be read without additional detraction if one was careful. The new owner would probably not need to seek an upgrade for this title, unless they were super-fussy. The estimated result of a grading service examination is approximately a 5.0. Please refer to the included photo scans, which are of the actual item in the listing - view the images carefully, these are an important part of the description. ---------------------------------------- DETAILS OF THIS COMIC BOOK: Giant-size issue; 1st appearance and origin of the Defenders (featuring Sub-Mariner, Hulk, and Doctor Strange).
