I've got a Infinity Gauntlet #1 already signed & CGC'd by George Perez.

Looking for a witness to get Jim Starlin and Joe Rubinstein sigs and possibly a remarque if Perez or Rubinstein are able/available. 

Hello! I'm looking for somebody who will be attending either Wizard World in Madison, WI on 12/2 OR Louisville SuperCon on 11/30. I am looking to get a William Shatner Signature and get it with the signature series yellow label. 

Any help is awesome! Thanks all.

Wow, that sure is an interesting variation in the colors. My first thought is the one book is faded, but that's not it as the Reds and yellows in and around the logo are consistent. It's like  the blues have been switched to reds in the second one or the blues are very weak. Hopefully someone with some knowledge of the printing process of these books will weigh in on how this could have happened.

Update: After doing a little research myself into the 4 color printing process, this looks to be simply a case of the weakening of the intensity of the blue (cyan) ink, probably caused by the blue (cyan) ink running out during the print run. Brown is made by combining blue (cyan), red (magenta) and yellow. You take the blue(cyan) down and it turns orange/red. The dark blue in the hair and bracelet are made by combining blue (cyan) and red (magenta). Take the blue (cyan) down and you are left with what you see in the hair and bracelet. It's amazing how just a little change in the blue (cyan) ink like that,  caused such a huge change in the final colors. 

Interesting! I had no idea, thanks for looking into it. I've been trying to figure out what could have happened.

Just got this one in yesterday! recently got into older silver age romances, these covers are great!

Hello all,

I've been a collector of romance comics for a little while and I came across a classic soda shop cover that I really loved. Upon researching the book, I discovered that the cover of the book was wildly miscolored due to what I could only assume was a printing error. So, I went out and found myself a regular version of the book to compare. (Attached to this post are photos of both books) The regular cover is the blue hair, the misprint cover is the magenta hair. As you can see, everything is just a shade or three lighter than what it's supposed to be.

Is this rare? does this increase the value of a book? If it helps, there isn't even one of these on the census. 

I'm a little bummed because the misprint book is in amazing shape, save one page that is detached. 

Thanks for your time everybody!
