Description

View Aquaman 56 Apr 1971 DC Comics Key - 1st app Crusader. Low Grade Est. 2.0-3.0 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. 1st appearance of the Crusader. Last issue of the original silver/bronze run before an 8-year hiatus. Nostalgic throw back to Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson on the first two pages. Cover complete and attached. Spine splitting along left edge; long vertical handling bend through splash text (no heavy fiber breakage); minor corner chipping bottom right; back cover tracking dirt staining. I’m not a professional grader so please check photos. AI gives this a 2.0 with upside to a 3.0. Definitely a complete low grade reader copy or filler. 1st appearance of the Crusader. Infamous hidden intercompany crossover story that concludes unofficially in Marvel's Sub-Mariner #72. Last issue of the original silver/bronze run before an 8-year hiatus. Nostalgic throw back to Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson on the first two pages. Fun to see but due to likeness issues DC had to change their names. Guessing for those from that era, we all knew who it was from the early 70s NBC late-night television show. Ships bagged and boarded. Condition: Good.
