Lurker89 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 My lovely wife knowing I'm a Moon Knight nut purchased me a beautiful copy of Comic Reader 126 celebrating us being together 12 years. The only thing that immediately jumped out at me was that the book was stapled shut. One of my best friends hooked her up with the seller, he informed me the staple was intentional at printing. I figured I'd ask if anyone here had any insight into this practice or it's purpose. The staple looks original and intentional but obviously all copies were not stapled this way.

mysterymachine Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Looks like this one had it. You can see where the staple was pulled. Key Collector Comics - Comic Reader #126 Lurker89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The staples look awfully rusty. I’d have her return it, then get a new wife and best friend. grebal, lizards2 and Lurker89 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shadroch Posted March 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I believe they were stapled so they could be mailed. That was their main source of distribution.
