Can I hire you? I need an agent! Yes, the comic world is truly a very interesting one indeed. So many stories of "my mother threw them all away!" Like JAZZ, these books are truly one of America's greatest art forms. Who would have ever predicted their popularity with all the Superheroes of the day beginning with Superman, Batman and now the Spiderman sequels. It is endless! Good business for me in this sad economy so I have no complaints. I do believe that it is always better to hold onto an unrestored comic book as long as it grades in FINE or better condition. Anything less than that can prove to be a worthwhile candidate for restoration given the paper quality (basically newsprint, highly acidic and will deteriorate) and of course get that old glue and scotch tape off for sure! I can do wonders. Check out amazing before/after photos at http://www.therestorationlab.com I am appearing at The third annual Boston Comic Con on this Sunday, March 16th. Check out the flyer at http://www.bostoncomiccon.com or just come on down! Meet many terrific artists and a legend in Carmine Infantino, a world reknown comic book talent! Of course, check those attics and basements and should you find anything in paper worth restoring, I will have my table set up complete with magnifying glasses and tweezers to examine any treasures you may own. I have a neat slide show set up as well. For you jazz lovers, that "other great American art form, there is another website I would like to share with you. I love music, jazz music and photography. I will let the site speak for itself. http://www.susancicconi.com Have a great day all! Susan Hey Ned,
