An excellently done Neal Adams Superman Cover!!!!!

 Also contains an Aquaman and a Vigilante story.  Published by DC Comics in 1971.

 The cover is smooth, flat, and an awesome reflector of light - about 90% of original cover gloss.   A very nice cover due to the lack of light creases; few in number and the ones that are there are at the edges, though of course two light light creases strayed into the area above and below Superman's right shoulder.  We had to look for quite a while before we chanced on them.  They are small and so light that they do not show up on the supersize picture.  What does show up is the tanning at the top and perhaps at the white to the left of the spine line.  Some soiling and tanning on the back cover.  The interior pages are an off-white to light tan\tan toward the edges, but are still wonderfully supple.  The staples are beautifully placed and the cover is well cut with the color extending to spine line, but the spine line is not at the physical spine (seems to be a design flaw of the 52 page format).  Squarish corners and very sharp edges.  The cover is attached to both staples.  Pages are 90% snug to cover?  A little confusing to judge since the 52 page format staples are seemingly designed to attach to the back cover and not the front, making the idea of snug to cover odd, because none of the covers are attached the front page anymore.  The book lies very flat, with the right lower corner having 3 millimeters of air space.  Another oddity of this book is that it has a slight reverse spine roll.  The roll is in the back, but is slightly noticeable on the front once you know its there.  Some comics are mysteries unto themselves with the reverse roll and the tanning areas you should consider when making your bid on this book.  Our overall grade is VF, as its a very nice book and the Neal Adams cover, excellent gloss and lack of creasing make this in our opinion a very desirable book.
