John Carter of Mars.   Dell Comic No. 437.  1952.  Created by  Edgar Rice Burrough, who also created the Tarzan character.  This comic book does show some minor wear.  There are some pencil-marked numbers on the front and back cover.  Also, there is some wear on the spine and cover lower edge.  The inside pages are in very good condition.  This comic book does have a very strong, musty smell.  It is properly stored in a plastic cover with a board.
