Diabolik issue no. 13, entitled "The Dead Who Returns", originally published in January 1964 by Astorina editions (distributed by Ingoglia) and priced at 150 Lire on the cover, represents a fundamental piece in the history of Italian comics. This issue is part of the legendary first 17 albums of the "First Series", historically considered the "Holy Grail" of Italian noir comics.

- Cover: Colors still vivid. Shows light abrasions and small signs of wear along margins and corners. A slight crease on the right side barely visible.

- Back cover: Dedicated to the model/character "Viviana Doré". Green uniform background with small age spots and worn corners. In the upper right corner there is a pencil and ballpoint pen inscription. The lower left corner shows color loss and paperboard fraying.

General conditions:
The upper edge of the pages shows marked, natural yellowing due to time and the porous paper used in the 1960s, though without obvious heavy foxing or dark moisture stains. The pages appear well bound and aligned, indicating that the original glue binding is in excellent condition and still holds well, with no detached sheets.
Yellowing (oxidation) is perfectly homogeneous and natural, typical of the cheap paper used by Astorina in 1964. The black ink remains very vivid and high-contrast, with no fading, allowing full enjoyment of the original graphic style of the era.
Note: on page 50 there is a typographic smudge.

Internal puzzles intact except for a partially filled crossword.

The very detailed photos serve as the description.

Rigid, well-kept, and traceable packaging.
