Published by DC Comics in 1963.  

A VG book despite flaws, but the supersized image below should give you an honest appraisal of its appeal.  The pages are an off-white to a light tan toward the edges, and all are bound to the staples as is the cover.  There are no missing pages.  Many cover creases, but the cover retains some of its glossiness.  Color-breaking spine stress marks and a spine roll.  Color scuffing and wear.  The book lies relatively flat, except at the spine.       

Comic Grading - Definition of a Crease.
     
Crease - A fold which causes ink removal, usually resulting in a white line.  This seems to be the sense of what a crease is to Overstreet's Grading Guidelines and most comic graders.  We note two categories of creasing in our descriptions, 1) color breaking and 2) non-color breaking. 
 
For a color breaking crease, it must show that white line, though of course the thickness, length, and cover location of the crease are all important factors in how severely the crease actually degrades the cover's impact.
 
A non-color breaking crease is technically not a crease since it doesn't break color, but to those of us who have spent hours obsessing over our books, it is an interruption in the gloss or how the cover reflects light.  Take a smooth unblemished white sheet of paper and press your thumb nail into it several times using varying amounts of pressure.  As the paper is white there is no break in color, but depending on lighting and its angle to the paper eventually you would be able to see every point where the nail impressed the paper.  Again the noticeability, number, and locations of non-color breaking creases are factors affecting the quality of the cover.
 
If a cover is generally smooth, this means the non-color breaking creases present are interfering little with the cover's appearance.  These kinds of creases range from unnoticeable in normal viewing conditions to very intrusive.  A comic must be very carefully handled to avoid leaving these impressions at the edges.
 
Unfortunately, scans of the covers, even the enlargeable images we employ, do not always fully depict these imperfections.  We try to fill in the gaps by offering our estimate of what the Overstreet Grade would likely be, and by giving a detailed written description. 
 
Like most comic buyers and graders we have exchanged thoughts with, we agree that Overstreet Grading Guidelines provide a helpful starting point to access a book's quality, but we all have our own tastes and biases, and sharp disagreements on various books as well as complaints about Overstreet's approach.  Different books will impress you differently than they would us, which is why we try to be detailed and factual.  We are merely trying to provide our buyers with enough background so the book received satisfies or exceeds the expectations generated by our listing.
  
  Please note there is a $4.00 handling fee for this item. Fees charged do not fully compensate for the labor and materials necessary to process a purchase. Purchases will ship within 5 business days.
 
As of this listing over 90% of all issues of Detective Comics 268 to 400, Action Comics 282 thru 482, & Worlds Finest 115 to 244, are in stock.  We have many Silver Age DC titles. Open to requests for individual issues to list in store!
   
Expert Shipping!!!  We are very careful shippers.  We have shipped thousands of comics commercially.  Out of 1500+ shipments, there has not been a single report of a packing problem.  Packing materials are light weight and nearly impervious to harm! 
 
We have tried to be precise and reasonable in our grading.  However, since grading has many gray areas ... No Condition is guaranteed.  No one can catch or describe every flaw, though generally our listings in detail and accuracy surpass 90% of other sellers.  Better yet, with enlargeable images for every item you can make sounder judgements about the quality of the item.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want additional scans via email.
