FANTASTIC FOUR #88

Cover shows good color and gloss with sharp corners, though there is mild edge wear along the top and right border and slight softness at the top-left corner. A faint vertical crease is visible near the spine but does not appear to break color. No major creases, tears, or stains are visible; the book is protected in a plastic sleeve which may slightly obscure fine surface texture. Interior pages and back cover were not assessed, so the final grade could shift once those are examined.

Fantastic Four #88 arrived in July 1968 as part of the celebrated Stan Lee and Jack Kirby run that defined the team through the mid-to-late 1960s, with Joe Sinnott's inks giving the art its polished, distinctive finish during this stretch. The issue falls within a dense stretch of Kirby cosmic and adventure storytelling for the title, continuing the team dynamic-driven plots that made the book Marvel's flagship during this period, though it does not carry a major first appearance, origin, or death that would elevate it beyond a solid entry in the run.
