J.Sid Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Anyone know the story with the water damage on all these? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/story-page/scott-mccloud-understanding-comics-story-page-36-original-art-tundra-publishing-1993-/p/322410-63003.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecclectica Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) [Off topic mode = On] Not for this story. I only know the culprit behind the damage of several (I know at least 6) pages of the Star Hawks strip by Gil Kane, in the same storyline. I see them appear from time to time at auctions. I can post horror pictures more or less unbearable if someone is interested. I collect them.

They were stored in the basement, and a sump pump went out. When I went downstairs about 3-4 days later, there was about 2-3 feet of standing water. The whole place was humid. The art was above the waterline, but I remember picking up an Aparo page and watching blackish drops of water running off it like tears. Among other things, I lost a Spirit page while others were just damaged, like my Adams cover. This is fixable but it can cost you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
