INCREDIBLE HULK # 262 NEAR MINT+ 9.6 pristine white pages ! And a literally perfect spine structure with no stress lines, nor any wear whatsoever, for that matter. Absolutely incredible spine structure on this book. (See the three close- up photos of spine edge.) And newstand quality color and gloss all the way across the entire expanse of its exceptionally smooth and sleekly-defined surface area. Edges of the comic are perfectly straight and even all the way around the book (both front and back) with no tears, creases, or chips out of the margins. All corners are sharp and perfectly- defined right angles. No corner wear, and no surface creases either, on this book. Centerfold is tight and secure at both internal staple bars which are silver and clean, with no discoloration. Comic is flat and smooth, with no spine roll or upturn. Tight, compact book--good firm binding. The inside and back covers are ultra- clean and pristine white as well as texturally sleek and smooth across all the surfaces, with absolutely no stains, smudges, or discoloration at all. And the cover is tight and securely-attached at both staples which are evenly-aligned right on the edge of the spine. Practically perfect comic book, both structurally as well as aesthetically. Nothing wrong with it. You won't find a nicer one here or on e- bay.
