This is a NEW UNREAD BOOK IN EXCELLENT NM, Near Mint, CONDITION.
The item is unsold shop stock which has been in storage for many years. As such it is unread and so I have graded as NM, Near Mint. 
Joe Simon, first editor of Marvel Comics and a creator of Captain America, takes you back to the birth of the comic book industry, the early backroom publishing offices, collaborations (and feuds) among writers, artists and publishers, the art studios, working conditions, and the creators of super-heroes that generated fortunes for the publishers but often left the creators struggling to survive.
With over 192 pages. 
Revised Vanguard printing, 2003.
