If you own Valiant's Solar: Man of the Atom, read this!!

I just re-read Solar #1-10, and I got a nasty shock. As you recall, the inside of each issue had an 8-page cardstock insert, and the entire Shooter/Windsor-Smith story constituted an issue "zero." However, it turns out that the cardstock and the regular paper are having a nasty chemical reaction, and the regular and the cardstock pages are turning brown wherever they touch! The comic is eating itself!!

As much as it pains me, I'm pulling out the cardstock sections and putting them in a bag of their own. Word to the wise.

This reminds me of...

in the late 1970s there was a fanzine called AFTA, and in one issue they included a raisin.

Cut to the mid 1980s open the fanzine and...

ewwwwwwwwww

Thanks for the head's up. I'll check mine.

I checked mine, and there is some light browning in exactly the same place in each book, on the upper left and right corners of the pages facing the normal comic paper. Nowhere else. Since it's just up in those 2 corners, and is pretty light, I'm going to leave it where it is rather than take the books apart. But thanks for the heads up.

Why don't you just slip a paper towel, toilet paper or a tissue in between the offending parties?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to dig them out when I get home.

Funny thought, just imagine someone who bought a CGC'd issue of solar and for some reason opens it to find page after page of brownish unreadable mess.

Ahhhh, yes. I owned that one (& other ishes of the zine, one of which contained my first ever record reviews).

How do you know these wouldn't create an equally-bad chemical reaction? But still, you raise a valid objection. If you can't bear to rip the comics apart, I'd slit a comic bag in two and place the pieces of plastic in the middle. Then put the whole mess in a bag.

Without a raisin.
