Fantastic Four # 1 covers are cumulatively GOOD-VG (3.0). Front Cover GOOD (2.0). Back Cover VG-FN (5.0). There is a small semi circular piece missing from the great edge of the Front Cover above the T and the A in words Fantastic. Both covers grade out to VG- (3.5) however I like to be more conservative and grade the covers as GOOD-VG (3.0).
Both covers are detached from the interior however in one piece. No spinal column split. A brilliant prior owner totally laminated both covers inside and out.
Interior is off white FN-VF (7.0). There is a little semi round piece missing from the top edge of the Front Cover above the T and the A in the word Fantastic and into the interior for a couple of pages. Impacts the border and none of the story.
The book is autographed by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on page 1 leading border. When I acquired the book, the autographs were present. I did not witness the trademarks. Therefore I will not vouch about their authenticity.
Given the lamination, small piece missing at the great edge of the cover and into the interior for a few pages, uncertainty about the credibility of the autographs and factoring a FN-VF interior with GOOD-VERY GOOD covers, I grade the book as a total G+ (2.5).
