Venom Lethal Protector #1 (Error??)

[LAVAMAN_82]

Hello, is this an error printing? Clearly some red foil is there but most of the cover looks black.

 

I had no time prior to the auctions end to contact the seller, so I went ahead and bought it.

 

What do you think? Error or not?

It's just dark in the photo. I'm pretty sure that's all red foil... regular.

 

EDIT: I just lightened the picture in Photoshop. It's all red foil.

[LAVAMAN_82]

Yep! All red... Bummer!

 

Nice trick lightening the image. Never thought to do that before.

It's the red foil, no doubt. The error only has the red foil lining the outside of letters/objects. The 'middle background area' if you will, is all black.

I've definitely bought a copy of the red foil cover on ebay before because it looked like the all black cover due to poor lighting in the pictures posted by the seller.

When I was a new boardie, one of the first things I did was buy a stack of red foils and and one by one put them in the oven at differing degrees to see if the red foil would separate like it was rumored to. None of them did even at 80 degrees, the pages always warped long before any of the foil started to separate : /

 

But it was a fun experiment I have to admit.

80 degrees, or 800?

80 degrees, that last book I waited almost an hour before the pages just barely curled and the foil was still as good as new.

OK. It just sounded weird. 80 degrees (fahrenheit) is just taking your comic outside. Why would that do anything?

[LAVAMAN_82]

Hit it with a blast of oven cleaner... Work great de-chroming parts on model kits... Probably not so great on a paper collectible though!

Well I started at like 400 degrees and in a minute or so the pages curled and no foil loosened up. So I then dropped it to 200 degrees, same thing only in a couple minutes and so on..... until I got down 80 degrees, hoping the long period of time in heat would do something and it didn't.
