Description: World's Finest Comics #156Featuring a cover story entitled . . ."The F.B.I.!" (Federation of Bizarro Idiots) A March 1966 issue GRADED 8.5 by CGC (with Off-White to WHITE pages)!! As of 10/20/24, CGC has only ever graded 24 copies higher, with Universal Labels (PLUS - even as it approaches its 60th birthday - this copy still has vibrant colors on its covers, and Off-White to WHITE pages!!) Written by Edmond Hamilton; with Art by Curt Swan and George Klein; and Cover by Curt Swan and Sheldon Moldoff!! See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in July of 2024!!This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with an 8.5 Grade in September of 2024. This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!).Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning SIXTY years old in 2026, this issue STILL looks GREAT, especially in its brand new CGC holder with that 8.5 grade on a Universal Label showing that this copy still has Off-White-to-WHITE pages!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and creator/content details, and all the corners, ends and edges of the BRAND NEW CGC case. The last 2 images: show it back in its CGC issued polybag, ready for shipment to its new owner; and provide a screenshot of CGC Census data for this issue, as of October 20, 2024.
