MutantKeys Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Back on topic Dice, If you look at some Marvel issues in the Silver Age you will see a production defect on some books such as the X-Men 36 I recently sold. This production decent is usually in the top 1/3 of the cover and looks kind of like this > > > > > > > > Not perfect but I think you might have an idea of what I'm talking out. Can you explani how this is caused. Thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Are you talking about the roller mark that looks like little >>>>> dents across the cover of a comic? If so, that's a roller mark from production. Pretty common if you hold a book up and let the light reflect on the surface. If you're talking about something else, describe it or post a scan.

cosmic-spider-man Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) (thumbs u Thanks for the explination Jamie it sounds good but let me post some more examples and see if you and Dice still think it holds up. this book has at least 4 variantions on the color error, Like one foot in Yellow, two feet in Yellow, two feet and the arm in Yellow and one foot and the arm in Yellow. Well dang I can't seem to find pictures of the other variations of this book right now but when I do I will post them up.

cosmic-spider-man Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well since I can't seem to find the pictures of the ASM #188 lets try another comic the Avengers #178 it has all kinds of problems with the area above the Marvel Comics Group banner. I have noticed this type of problems with lots of 70's Marvel comics and that is one of the reasons why I was thinking maybe pieces of the printing plates may be breaking off during production as a possible cause.

cosmic-spider-man Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Here is another color error the ASM #174 see the blue shading of the Letter P in SPIDER-MAN in the Tital. The Diamond price or Whitman one also has this error but I can't seem to find a picture of that one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic-spider-man Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 here is another cool production error, I thought some of you might like to see but has nothing to do with my question. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 At times during a run, the plates can have areas that become "sensitive". Meaning, those areas can stop accepting ink, and will stop printing. If I get a chance, I'll see if I can bounce this off a few other guys I know.

Kenwho Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Wow..nice thread. I enjoyed reading this almost as much as touring the Jack Daniels distillary in Tennesee. Keep up the good work and great info! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepep-migration Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can you tell if the blue staining on this GS Xmen 1 is a freak production defect or post production? http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2520064#Post2520064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's called "Distributor Ink", and it was used by the magazine guy to mark returns. It was not done during production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't think I posted these pages here before, and this thread seems like a natural place for them. These are from a book called The Lithographer's Manual. The book was originally written around 1940, but my copy is the second edition from the 1960s.
