WORLD’S FINEST COMICS #109
1960 Superman-Batman team-up from the classic World's Finest run, with a Curt Swan cover.
// Unit specification
// Run position
// Condition analysis
The cover shows moderate overall wear typical of a Silver Age book: soft, rounded corners, a visible spine roll with light stress along the top edge, and general surface wear/rubbing especially along the left edge and spine. There is noticeable pen/ink writing or a signature-like mark in the upper right portion of the cover, which is a significant defect. Some minor edge chipping is visible along the right and bottom edges, and slight discoloration/toning is present on the cover stock. Interior pages and back cover were not visible in this photo and were not assessed.

// Archive commentary
World's Finest Comics #109 lands squarely in the Silver Age heyday of the Superman-Batman partnership, the pairing that defined the title for decades. By 1960 the formula was well established: the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader (with Robin) sharing lead billing in imaginative, gimmick-driven adventures aimed at DC's core young readership. Curt Swan's clean, poster-like cover work typifies the era's house style, and the issue sits comfortably within a long, collected run that draws steady interest from team-up completists and Superman and Batman specialists alike.
