Comic print error? Or badly restored comic? 1 1

[Arif_Ajeti]

Hi, Guys, 

I'm new to the world of comics. I recently bought the whole run of marvel godzilla online. I was planning to grade the whole run. I noticed color on one of the covers . It looks like someone colored some areas in. Could this be an printing error and the color has moved into other areas. Or has somone restored the book in an amiture way? I would hate to get a purple lable. Please let me know what you guys think 🤔

I don’t see anything out of the ordinary.

Take it out and look at it

If there is colour touch, most likely will have bleed through, or some type of residue on the front

That's just how comics look lol.

The light blue you are referring to is the same plate as the blonde's coat and the buildings trim. It looks to have been used to darken the jacket/hat of Mr Mustache. Nothing is wrong with the book this is just how they were printed with offsets not matching up sometimes. I think the bigger question is why you want to grade these instead of just buying already graded copies for what would likely be a cheaper option.

Classic Bronze Age printing standards! This is why there's so much to love about 1970s comics. But why grade them? How will you enjoy the smell, or the letters pages or the Marvel checklist or Stan's Soapbox? Welcome to the boards btw!

Thank you for reply 😁, I just enjoy the thrill of grading. I usually grade cards. I have never submitted a comic. I love Godzilla and marvel. So would like to grade the whole colection to display. Not grading for profit so don't mind what grade I get.

Thank you for your information and knowledge 😃. would like to grade the whole colection to display. Not grading for profit so don't mind what grade I get. I have always loved godzilla and marvel so when I saw a comic that incorporates both I had to have the whole run 😂

That was a great run and a lot of fun-- I'm with the rest - no amateur restoration here-- just printing errors which I think sometimes improve the book.
