Buy My Collectibles has acquired over 50, 000+ comic books. The books date back to the Golden Age thru to the present. Many hard to find, key issues & runs of titles from Charlton, Classic Illustrated, DC, DELL, Gold Key, Marvel, Independent/Underground publishers, variant/certified signed editions & CGC graded books. All genres, Super Hero, Horror, Western, Romance, War, Disney, Archie, Casper & so much more!The books range in condition from 0.5 POOR to "HIGH GRADE" NEAR MINT. I hav...e been brought on board to organize this massive collection. I bring with me over 35 years experience of collecting, grading & selling comic books. I grade very conservatively using the 10 Point Grading Scale per The Overstreet Price Guide. Please note that I am not a professional grader and that grading is not a science and can vary from person to person. Because of time constraints and trying to list as many books possible, a majority of the time general letter grades will be given to the book/s that they fall under and or range between. There will also be times when a more specific numerical grade is provided along with corresponding letter/word grades. In The Overstreet price guide section there are 6 grading categories/scales for which they price books GD (2.0), VG (4.0), FN (6.0), VF (8.0), VF/NM (9.0) & NM- (9.2). So for example if a book is listed as or described as VG/FN, in my estimation the book ranges in VG (4.0) condition to FN (6.0) condition. I will try to note anything that does not show in scans/pics. like spine splits, gloss/reflectivity issues, loose pages/covers, large stains/discoloration & paper brittleness. Most books will be starting at ONLY .99 with NO RESERVE so you/the market decides on price of these books. Remember any price guide is just that a GUIDE! So if you feel compelled to debate whether the book grade should have been a 4.0 VERY GOOD instead of 4.5 VERY GOOD+ or 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE then these auctions may not be for you. Please see scans/pics. and or ask questions to assist in your grading and decision to bid. The scans/pics. are of the actual book/s that will be shipped to you. Please put us in your favorites as hundreds of books will be listed weekly. All books come bagged & boarded.Offered for your consideration is a "RARE" AKIRA #4! Published by Marvel/Epic Comics in 1988. Squarebound Deluxe Format. (Approx. 68 pgs.) Story, art & cover by Katsuhiro Otomo. (check out pics./excuse glare) 1st full color printing! Vintage "KEY" AKIRA issue and a "MUST HAVE" for any Marvel/Epic, Manga and AKIRA completist/collector! In my estimation the book ranges in "NICE" (5.5) FINE- to (6.0) FINE condition. Moderate wear to cover, spine, corners & edges. Back cover has minor rubbing and slightly blunted/frayed bottom right corner on back cover. Believe all/any defects to be minor/hardly noticeable and does not distract from the overall eye appeal of book.

Book is very tight/solid/structurally sound with no loose cover/pages. Cover is clean, has super high gloss/reflectivity with bright, vivid colors. Cover inks still have that wet fresh look.
