Iron Man #36

[deadlili-migration]

I'm not David, but it looks like a light thumb crease. Or is it too long for that?

That's what I thought it might be. I just want to know to see how many points I should deduct for it.

Is there a crease on Iron Man's back foot? color loss? rubbing?

 

Can someone (this means YOU, David) please answer my question?

 

Don't you have a job? . . . gotta run . . .

Interesting that the comments are uniform, as there's actually no lack of glossiness whatsoever. Look at the reds and yellows on Iron Man; check out other copies of this issue (especially in hand, and not some amped-up eBay photo); the colorist chose a a very bland pallette for the backgorund colors. This copy exhibits no fading whatsoever, just an off-whiteness, particulary noticeable on the BC.

 

 

maybe it's from the scan, but the colours presented are far from being rich/deep ones...

How can a person detemine glossiness from a scan anyway? You need raking light to truly appreciate a nice gloss.

 

As for the colors, they look great to me. 9.4/9.6. Great copy there.

 

colours well preserved (rich/vivid ones) are also directly related with a glossy cover...sometimes you don't need to have a book in hand (if the scan is a very good/faithfull one) to tell if the cover is or not a glossy one. Of course nothing beats seeing it up close to have a 100% sure about this subject!
