C. Gaines. The comics also feature art by Stan Aschmeier for the Johnny Thunder stories. The comics were trimmed on all sides (meaning the spines have been trimmed away as well) and have had holes punched along the left edges to accommodate the spiral binding; otherwise the comics are in overall nice condition with bright, glossy covers, off-white to tan pages with some instances of very mild chipping, and mild to moderate wear. The first page of issue #1 has become detached.
