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

Huge fan of #Marvel, #Hulk and #SheHulk

Amazing. So well loved!!!

Holy moly you weren’t kidding 😂 the cover still presents pretty nice despite the issues.

For sure! There’s a terrible spine roll and the cover is nearly detached. This will be a “conservation” experiment.

Shockingly no heat needed but that does help when the tape is older or more set into the page.

I’m going to do some dry method tear seals on this one for practice. The cover is TATTERED!!!

🤣 thank you 🙏 I’m actually a pretty big geek 🤓

Watched it last night and we loved it. This is such a great cover and a fun story too!!!

For a little more context:

- This is modern tape (easier to remove)
- I used a “Scotty Peeler” (the blue thing)
- There will inevitably be some staining left over after I dry clean!

I have kinda considered it and I sincerely appreciate your vote of confidence in my work 😂 💚🙏

Other people have encouraged me to go to local shops with my before and afters and offer my services.

Maybe someday!!! 🤞 my new day job is pretty demanding.

I don’t really do commissions (yet?) but I’d still love to see the book whenever you get a chance!!!
November 9, 2025 at 8:13 PM
I think so! I see them going on eBay incomplete for at least 100-150 US! I think 45 CAD is about 32 US.
November 9, 2025 at 8:05 PM
No not at all! I love seeing books and contemplating how I’d approach them. I guess those ones you have are pressable but not cleanable.

Absolutely 💚 When you love a hobby you make any space work, but then some day in a bigger space you can really flourish!

Thanks Lyman!!! I’ve got a big business trip lined up before the new year (non comic related unfortunately lol) but maybe when I return and get more settled in we can chat about what you have!!!

Send pics if you feel up to it!!!

That would be very sweet of you to mention my work ☺️

I’ll check out the show soon! Do you have an apple link?

Hey! Thanks for the question

If it’s sharpie, nothing will help, but grease pen can be carefully reduced/removed.

Check the inside of the cover to see if it goes through the page at all.

The key difference is that grease pen is hydrophilic and lays on top of the gloss while sharpie ink soaks in.

🙏 it’s truly beautiful! We have a couple Japanese maple trees that block just enough wind, sound and sun. I’m curious to see how bright it gets in the winter when the leaves fall off!
