Popular Post Hepcat Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Here are scans of my four earliest Tom and Jerry comics: 87 96 100 103 The #96 above is actually just as bright and vivid as the others. I'd changed scanners though and the settings for resolution and such weren't the same.

The old Charltons I used to find in the wild as a kid were clearly printed on substandard paper and always seemed sort of cheap by comparison to Gold Key and Dell. Old Dells can often be found with nice white paper but if Charltons of this vintage were aging in the 1970's I'm curious how they have held up fifty years later.

Yes, most Charltons were indeed printed on substandard paper which has a distinct tendency to tone with age. But when I checked the interior pages today of my two Atom the Cat issues which are from 1958-59, I was very pleasantly surprised. No dust shadows and they're off-white to white!

That's some good preservation; Ernie Gerber claimed in his photo journals that bagging would extend the lives of these books for many many years. Can you post some pictures of the interiors? Not a comic you see every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of my favorites with an "injury to eye" cover as the "good doctor" would have said...

I really have to be in the mood to mess with my camera and uploading from the camera to Photobucket which over time has become quite the chore. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
