Only minimal blemishes of any, brief spine creasing and a few slight browning moments, most issues remain sharp, superb and clean, with great covers and corners.

The combination of Gil Kane and Neal Adams more then helped establish a fiery presence and fierce iconic essence for everyone’s favorite savage ginger vixen alongside Roy Thomas’ writing and with help from John Romita and Frank Thorne, the rest was Sonjita history — Marvel Feature Volume 2 a straight run of issues 1 through 7 from November of 1975 to November of 1976, this is the entirety of the Volume 2 run complete.
