In this video i provide the rationale, methods, and materials for removing tanning from silver age comic books. The techniques are compared and contrasted with those for golden age comic books, with emphasis on differences for the comic era. I demonstrate with a copy of Tales to Astonish and include before and after pictures to show results. These techniques should result in either blue Universal label or occasionally Conserved label but in my experience when executed properly do not trigger purple or restored label from CGC.
