ASTOUNDING 1954,February

The front cover shows evidence of exposure to moisture? by having a roughened or "wrinkly" surface in middle / no traces elsewhere. The dark art-work tends to make this less noticeable. I'd grade the rest of the magazine about VG+, and the cover Good-. (Compare to the April 1954 issue where the whole cover is affected.)
