Question

Sub Mariner
I have a Sub-Mariner comic fom Nov. 1968. It is Vol. 1, #7. The cover was originally attached with it folded slightly off center. You can see a small area on the back that is actually part of the front cover. The top staple is not connected to the cover, and does not appear to ever have been. I do not see staple marks. The bottom and all pages are intact. Pages have discolored with age and the cover has some wear along the edges. I believe some wear is due to the cover not being attached properly.

Answer

Seems like you have some nice issues from the late 60s.  Too bad you don't have anything from about 5 years earlier--those are the really valuable ones.  Anyway, this one would retail for around $10 or $15 (as long as the pages aren't too discolored).  Probably not a very high-demand issue though.

Enjoy!
