Best way to pop open a slab?

[AuburnTiger]

Hello all, I'm here once again with a question. I just got a copy of Showcase 35, and wanted to pop it out and read it.

 

Is there some procedure I should follow to open it? I don't want to damage the comic.

There's a video Chromium did around here somewhere.

That theme music reminds me of Charlie's Angels.

It is simple. Just check and see which side of the slab you can pry open with your fingers. Gently but firmly pull it apart. It should pop pretty easily. The interior sleeve is a little trickier. You can use scissors or gently pull the top apart and work your way down.

C'mon guys. Screwdrivers and fingers are for wimps. Just use a dab of C-4 on each corner.

Too extreme

 

 

Just grab the edge of the slab, one quick downward stroke on cement and you crack the shell. Remove the comic sleeve, cut the top edge , and remove comic.

 

 

All this nonsense about proper procedure

 

This is not surgery

Nice video. But wow...what a colossal pain in the @ss. I mean, who's got that kind of time...?

This technique is wrong. Use a HAMMER, followed by an exact-o knife, some acrylic paint, and re-glue. It works for Danny D.

grab both sides of the seam on the side and yank, it will pop right open with the book remaining secure on one side. Then take some scissors and cut carefully along the top of the bag and it's out.

You're supposed to send the label back to GCG so they can remove the book from their database.
