It has been in a plastic sleeve since I got it. I'm not a collector and really have no idea how to grade this. It is in very good condition in my opinion though. Doesn't have any rips, tears or stains. Hope this helps
It says published by Marvel Comics. Terry Stewart, President. Stan Lee, Publisher. Michael Hobson, Group Vice President, and publishing office and address.....OK I just did a internet search on this issue and it says that Mark Waid was the writer here it the link to this info http://www.comicvine.com/deadpool-if-looks-could-kill/37-39502/
