MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #2 (1972) • 1st Werewolf by Night • ONE OWNER • Smoke-Free • VF/NM Raw
ONE-OWNER PROVENANCE • UNTOUCHED & UNPRESSED • PRISTINE STORAGE HISTORY
Up for sale is a rare, exceptional collector’s copy of Marvel Spotlight #2 (1972), featuring the landmark 1st appearance of Werewolf by Night. This is a true one-owner copy, purchased new off the newsstand by me and stored continuously in a strict smoke-free, climate-controlled home ever since. It has never passed through multiple hands, comic shops, or conventions. It is a completely fresh-to-market raw book.
CONDITION ASSESSMENT & TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Estimated Grade:
In my personal assessment, this book sits comfortably in the 8.5 (VF+) to 9.0 (VF/NM) range.
Pressing & Cleaning: This book is 100% original, untouched, and unpressed. It has never been cleaned or altered in any way. For collectors looking to press a book for grading maximization, this is an ideal candidate.
Cover Flatness: The cover has excellent structural integrity. When inspected closely under a raking light source, there are no visible surface dents or impressions anywhere on the exterior.
Spine & Staples: Beautifully tight spine. The spine appears completely free of color-breaking spinal ticks.
The cover shows the clean, natural impression of the staples underneath from the original bindery process.
The staples themselves remain bright, shiny, and firmly attached with no migration or rust.
Manufacturing Note: There is a minor, small removal of paper resulting directly from the original printing process located at the top left of the front cover and matching the exact same position on the top right of the back cover. This is a factory production anomaly, not handling wear (see photos #2 and #13).
Interior: The pages are clean, structurally sound, and perfectly preserved.
TOTAL VISUAL TRANSPARENCY:
I believe in complete transparency so you can buy with absolute confidence. I have provided exhaustive, high-resolution photography of this book, including:
Full front and back cover shots
Half-cover split shots (front and back) to capture structural flatness
Detailed, close-up macro shots of all four corners (both front and back views)
Please review the extensive gallery carefully to verify the corners, factory printing traits, clean spine, and flat profile for yourself. The book pictured is the exact comic you will receive.
SHIPPING & HANDLING:
The comic comes securely bagged and boarded. It will be packed with professional care using heavy-duty comic mailers to ensure it arrives at your doorstep in the exact condition shown. Shipped with full tracking and insurance.
SHIPPING & INSURANCE DETAILS:
Shipping is a flat $15.00. Because this is a high-value key comic, your shipping fee goes directly toward premium security measures. This book will be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage inside a heavy-duty, corrugated Gemini mailer with extra reinforcement. It will be fully insured for the full purchase value and requires a physical Signature Confirmation upon delivery—no exceptions.
