This video demonstrates the use of cleaning supplies provided in the Comic Book Dry Cleaning Starter Kit on a Batman 227. This is one of my favorite covers by the amazing artist Neal Adams. I start by gently wiping the from and back cover. On this particular book, the cover is vibrant and does not have any creases (which is hard to find on this comic). The back however is heavily soiled and will benefit from a dry cleaning. I walk though all the steps and also discuss blemishes/defects that will adversely impact the grade. Make sure you practice A LOT before attempting on a book of this value!

Information:
Are you interested in increasing the value of your comic collection? As comics age, they often accrue dirt and grime, which negatively impact the “grade” or condition of the comic and ultimately the value. Comic book “dry” cleaning is a process for removing dirt or stains from the covers of comics without the use of chemicals. By learning and applying the process of cleaning, you can remove many of these blemishes, significantly improving the look of the comic. Cleaning is often combined with comic book pressing, the process of applying heat and pressure to remove bends, mitigate creases, and lighten spine ticks. There are a tremendous amount of resources online for learning how to clean and press comics; however, it can be difficult and costly to piece together all the supplies you need just to test out the process. No worries! I have saved you the trouble and assembled a Comic Book Cleaning Starter Kit that includes all you will need to start cleaning. These supplies are detailed in the technical manual Comic Book CPR: How to Clean and Press Comic Books, which is an excellent resource for learning the skills needed to start cleaning and pressing comics! Don’t delay! In addition to increasing the value of your books, comic book cleaning is a fun, relaxing, and rewarding process.
