Answer
Hi, Steven,

Thanks for your question!

Sorry about the delay - I was out of town this weekend and forgot to turn on my "vacation" button for allexperts.com...

Firstly, before you go looking up value, you really, really have to grade the issue.  From your description, the grade would likely be considered "Good", but you'll have to get a little more detail to determine it.

Here is a link to my website that gives you general information on grading:

You'll want to look at the indicia (the publishing information on the first page after you open the cover) to determine what year this was published in so that you are inquiring about the appropriate version of this comic.

I'm not sure which version of the online price guide you were attempting, but I recommend giving this link a try:

Finally, a quick glance at my Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (the Bible of comics collecting) indicates that in Near Mint (NM) condition, this comic would be valued at approximately $2.25.

Hope this information is helpful!  Please let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you.

Pax, harmnonia,
