I clean, press and collect comic books as a hobby 🇨🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 🌱

Huge fan of #Marvel, #Hulk and #SheHulk
Pinned
The Incredible Hulk #114 - Cleaned, sealed and pressed!

Unfortunately some ink washed off along with the staining, but that’s to be expected with these older books, especially in areas with heavy attrition like that bottom right corner.

Feels good to have a dedicated space for conservation. Thanks so much to everyone who cares about my content and shares it with others!!! Time to look through my stack of sad looking project books for the next experiment! #ComicSky #Hulk #ComicConservation

Hey #ComicSky. Let’s talk conservation techniques.

When a staple pops- there’s still hope through conservation!
Here’s a centrefold that detached from its staples.

I’ve used wheat paste and tengujo paper to realign / reinforce the torn fibres. These materials make the process reversible too!

#FlatTrip25 DAY 7 / 7 COMPLETE

ANDD… that’s a wrap on my drive from Ottawa to Vancouver.

Total Distance: 4617 km 👀

My final stop was Nifty Keen where this guy has been waiting patiently for me for months. (My partner told me I could buy him if I got the job)

#FlatTrip25 DAY 6 / 7 COMPLETE

Distance: 604 km

Duration: 7 hours

Notes:

The drive from Calgary to Kelowna was a wild and twisty one through the mountains. The snow reminded me of what it will be like to drive in Winter again! Today I kept it simple.

Kelowna, BC. What a sweet mountainside city!

I visited their offerings and wasn’t disappointed with the finds nor the people. Everyone’s so committed to taking care of each other here.

Sweetnam’s Nik Naks even has a card selection with proceeds going to the local children’s hospital! #FlatTrip25

#FlatTrip25 DAY 5 / 7 COMPLETE

Distance: 740 km

Duration: 7.5 hours

Notes:

Some fun pickups today, mostly from the antique mall of all places! I think I’m beginning to realize they are way better for not only value, but even selection and “surprise factor”!

Arrived in Calgary and visited “Alpha Comics”. Arguably the coolest and most stocked shop I’ve visited so far. #ComicSky #Calgary #ComicBooks #FlatTrip25
