Henry Aldrich #9 (Dec-Jan 1952), Dell Comic, Ski crash cover, Golden Era Classic

Description: Henry Aldrich #9 (Dec-Jan 1952), Dell Comic, Ski crash cover, Golden Era Classic. This half-century old Dell Comics title is such a perfect throwback to the Golden Era of classic teen romp titles. Color of art and pages has survived the decades beautifully. Surely, you can see the fairly significant creasing throughout the book (photos were taken purposefully to feature the creases, so you can see the issues vividly). While I'm not a professional grader (and my grading is certainly subjective--truth be told, I'm a sports card collector who just came into these comics), I believe this fits the traditional description of a "Good/Very Good" item (see below) Comic will be shipped in a bag with a board, and in a cardboard comic book mailer. (Of note: These comics were unearthed in a pretty awesome estate find recently. I've been told that some of them have a musty odor. I must confess, I can't smell it; but my sense of smell isn't all that keen.) *Zoom in and check photos above, as comic book pictured is comic book sold* 3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG)A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded.
