If you own this 1974 DC Comics' The Flash issue #227, it's more of a collectible than for regular reading. When handling, use clean hands to avoid dirt and oil on the pages. To store, place it in a comic - book sleeve and a hard - backed folder to prevent further creasing or tearing. Keep it in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Don't bend or fold the comic further. When showing it to others, be gentle to maintain its current acceptable condition.
