Musty Smell Comics?

[catrick339]

Unless you're fighting something truly disgusting, just opening your stinky comics to the cf and leaving them open (Someplace safe, say a nice dry dark spare bedroom or basement or such) and letting them air out for a couple weeks should take care of most musty smells. If you're fighting something worse this will help, but won't solve the original cause.

There really is no way to clear it out. I have heard many suggestions over the years, but they never really work. Just let it ride. As some have said, it's sort of nice in a way...

Man, I've got a huge stack of old GA that'd be "Must Heaven" to you goofs.

the major reason why I buy tradepaperbacks, essentials, showcases and Omnibuses. I cannot stand the smell of old 1970`s and 1980`s moldy musty comics.

 

I hate to break the news to you but they are not safe either. I purchased two trades from the late eighties and one just musty old garage smell. The other is like a physical assault just from merely opening the book.

Ahh, I can smell it now...
