IRON MAN # 98 NEAR MINT- 9.2 w/ bright white pages ! Exceptional spine structure on this comic with just three small, light stress lines at the lower portion being the only tiny wear on the book which presents with near perfect edges and corners as well as newstand quality color and cover gloss all the way across its smooth and sleekly- defined surface area. Edges are straight and near perfectly structured all the way around the book both front and back, with no tears or chips out of the margins. The corners are beautifully- defined right angles. And the inside and back covers are practically pristine white, ultra-clean, and super bright, with no stains, smudges or discoloration at all. Centerfold is tight and secure at both internal staple bars which are silver and clean. The comic is flat and exceptionally smooth with no spine roll or upturn. Tight and compact book with firm binding. And the cover is securely-attached at both staples (clean and silver with no wear or discoloration).
