		Trimming comics is a clever ploy used by some to make a comic appear in better condition than it is. A comic with ragged or chipped edges can be trimmed by a couple of millimeters with a ruler and scalpel (dont do this).
		This comic is definitely a well-read copy and could have a reading or center crease or a rolled spine, but is not damaged enough to reduce eye appeal.
		Sentiment is never an issue for comic speculators, only for collectors, or for people who have inherited comics from a loved one.

		Warners told DC to "play fair" with all its customers, a proclamation that saw the birth of the direct sales comic shop, where a comic publisher could sell their wares direct to the stores, without having to go through a distributor.
		Suddenly comics creators could approach shops without having to go through one of the bigger companies, which meant they could sell their title to the public without first signing away all their rights as creators.
		Pacific went bankrupt in 1983, but before they did so they forced both Marvel and DC to start acknowledging creator rights, and they helped open the doors for many other small publishers who followed them.
