1960 Superman-Batman team-up from the classic World's Finest run, with a Curt Swan cover.
// Unit specification
// Run position
// Condition analysis
This Silver Age 10-cent issue shows significant wear consistent with age and handling: heavy overall spine wear with multiple vertical creases and stress lines, noticeable color break and chipping along the spine edge, corner rounding and minor loss at top corners, cover soiling and yellowing especially along the top and right edges, small tears/nicks along the top edge, and a visible crease running through the upper right quadrant. There is also what appears to be a small pencil price notation near the top. Interior and back cover were not assessed from this photo, so overall grade could be affected by additional defects not visible here.

// 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.
