All captions and dialogue are paste-overs, some of which have aged. Each page has inked note at top w/"Carson" name/page number and handwritten magazine title/issue number. Margins have some editorial notes. Pin holes along top/bottom margins. Pages have some lt. even aging/handling wear but are VF overall w/Exc. art. Superb and dense graphics throughout w/much humor.
