Williamseric58 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hello Everyone, To start off I'm not sure what forum to post this in. I currently have a Superman and Bizarro #71 (newsstand) that at first glance it looks like someone colored on it with a black marker. But I got to looking at it and I'm not sure it that's still the same case or not. When I zoomed in on it with my phone camera I noticed that there wasn't any marker/color pencil stroke lines. And at a angle I wasn't able to see any indents on the page. What could have done it? Is it the printer error or did someone actually color it black? Either way what would the ballpark grade be?

Funnybooks Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Appears someone colored it in with a marker. That would be the most unusual printer error as it is so precise and limited to just Superman in very specific places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is you look at the blue area above the E in superman and above it more black spots. And the A in and is not completely white it has red in it.

From the looks of it, it looks as if this was manufactured onto the book. Edited August 9, 2021 by Terry_JSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hard to say without the book in hand. I'm thinking marker as the "colored-in" parts are specific and limited to Superman and his exposed skin (and shield). Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also if it was a marker then who do you explain the black marks at the top and the mark in the blue above the E.
