AceHazard Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I got a copy of Miracleman issue 15 today and it appears to have a few pages where the black ink didn’t print. I’m not familiar with this type of printing error and the affect it has on the book. Would this get a green label? Is it a benefit like a double cover? Any insight would be great.

It could be of interest once awareness increases. Lazyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHazard Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I think it’s really interesting to see how the coloring was done without the black ink. It’s a cool look into the process. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 At the risk of being overly vague... There's a chance you could find somebody willing to pay a premium for the book, but it would probably take some looking. You could definitely find people unwilling to pay a premium, and possibly only willing to take it at a discount. It's very much a "find the right buyer" situation.

shadroch Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If it happens in one comic, it's not worth much. If it happened in 500 comics, it would launch a treasure hunt and copies would be worth much more. Track down a few more errors and you could be rich.

AceHazard Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Well, I’m glad to have something with a bit more rarity, even if it doesn’t add anything to the value. I would like to have a correctly printed copy as well though. Too bad it’s the most expensive issue in the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdandns Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 That's certainly the best issue in the run to have with something, anything, different about it, whatever it might mean for the value. While my two copies of #15 are locked in my collection, I would imagine there's someone out there who would trade you a high grade regular copy of #15 for it, if you wanted to go that route. No matter what, cool find, congrats! Pantodude, JTLarsen and PeterPark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
