Case Study: Incredible Hulk

This is a step by step tutorial on how to clean and press a comic book. This is work on an Incredible Hulk #340. Taking a classic Todd McFarlane book to its top grade! This includes foxing removal and whitening.

Hey Joe, Great work again! Did you give the book BLED m or BLED o with H2O2 or H2O OR plain BLED? Usually, my books have the wrinkled look after I give them BLED m. Also, importantly, how long did you humidify it, and with how many cups of water in the chamber? :)

[@TopComicsPressing]

This was all bled-o. 14 treatments- 4 per outer cover and 3 each inner cover. Normal humidity for book of era. Time and cups are region dependent. But just do whatever you do for a 80s book normally.

[@ShannonMobley-lb2hq]

@@TopComicsPressing Just curious, H2O2 or H2O?

[@TopComicsPressing]

@@ShannonMobley-lb2hq unless otherwise stated 1.5% peroxide - this was 3% h2o2. Water hop is effective but water bled is not

Is there anyone you would personally recommend that provides a cleaning/pressing/submitting service?
