Fantastic Four Annual #2 - Manufacturing Process Glue or Whiteout fluid?
in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Posted
Hi, All
I have a FF Ann #2 and am trying to find out if anyone has experienced the phenomena shown in the photos before. I am hoping that this is manufacturing glue, used to bind the book cover to the spine, which has seeped out the join. I am hoping that this is NOT whiteout fluid added in an attempt to strengthen the join
On close inspection, it appears that the white is the gloss from the opposite side of the inside back cover, as if clear glue in manufacturing process was used, but too much was used, it spilled out of the crack, and glued the inside of the back cover, then when the back cover was opened to read, the glue stripped the surface of the inside back cover off, leaving the whiteness from the paper stripped off on top of the glue
