Description: Sparkle Comics #8 a high-grade comic book from United Feature Syndicate back in 1949! Strips featured are The Captain and the Kids, Li'l Abner, and Nancy, created by Al Capp, Ernie Bushmiller, and R. Dirks The cover art depicts The Captain and the Kids meeting Nancy, a rare Golden Age crossover! This is the highest grade golden age book I have ever owned and I grade critically and am going for VF/NM as follows; the cover is flat and clean no tears or creases, the top edge of the back cover has some very slight bindery marking but no tears. cf is firmly attached as is the cover. On opening the book and viewing from the rear inside cover photo a tiny 2mm pinhole can be seen in the spine, check the photos this is not visible from the outside and I have dropped the book grading for this. The lightest corner bluntting can be seen on the bottom front cover corners, other corners are still sharp! As always use my description as a guide and check the photos and decide for yourselves, and it ships with free UK postage!
