  1. The best way? Depends on the era of book, and type of CT applied. SA can be totally different the GA due to inks, coverstock, and gloss. Was it topically applied with s brush? Or colored in with maker? Or pencil? Most of the time, if you hold a comic off angle, under a decent light source you will find CT stands out as you move the comic around. As mentioned already, comics are printed in a manner that makes hand applied CT recreation impossible. All one can hope to do is mimic the intended color, and fool the eye. It looks muddy compared to original dot matrix. As Roy said, once you get used to seeing CT, it stands out. Some worse then others. All depends on the level, and type of CT applied. Bleed through obviously being very easy to detect. As Roy said, CT is like porn. When you see it, you know it. Or maybe he didn't say that exactly. The best way is to find an expert who can teach you. Dan
  2. I think it is Thanous for you Canadians. Nice book. Dan
  3. If some one could post pictures of the exhibition that would be awesome! What time Dec 1/2 is Jeremy going to be there? I didn't see it on the site. Dan
  4. That seems like a perfectly acceptable practice. That is smart, I like it. I think it is a good idea as well, but I can see someone treating it as a coercion technique (getting upset when they see the "you have 48 hours to decide or my offer is null and void"). Is there a general rule for how long a PM offer is valid? Dan
  5. Chronologically it was ASM 252. Continuity it would be SW8 ASM #252 was first. Then you had to wait till Secret Wars #8 to find out how it happened. Dan Thats why I said Chronologically and continuity I know. I was just describing what it was like as a kid to find out Spidey had a new suit and to not know how or why. Dan

  16. It says exclusive on the "read more" section. I signed up to be on the waitlist for walkers. Dan
  17. Kindness is a trait. Something that is a characteristic of a person's nature - which cannot be taught, learned or practiced. You don't work on being kind, you are either kind, or unkind. And yes, dickism is a trait of the internet - that's just the way it goes. Use the 'ignore' feature here and enjoy yourself. Balls, I agree with you most of the time. I don't on this one. You most certainly can become kinder, more compassionate, friendlier, more outgoing through hard work and conditioning, despite the fact that you may not be naturally any of the above. I will cut and past from another discussion on the same topic: ... That is not kindness. That is simply choosing to do what others deem acceptable out of fear of rejection, reprisal or some other negative reaction. Kindness is a virtuous trait that is a culmination of an ingrained core of values that are part of our personal beliefs, ideas and opinions. While those things may change - a persons core character does not change. I think we are going way off topic here, but it sounds like you are stating that a core character is made up of personal beliefs, ideas, and opinions. If your personal beliefs, ideas, and opinions can change, why not your ingrained core of values. If I practice kindness for whatever reason, why would that not change who I am as a person if I come to believe that being kind is better than being a bully? Dan
