Jayman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Face it, dark cover or solid color books always show those nasty defects: spine ticks, CB creases and staple tears. Black covers being the worst. Now magnify that to magazine size and you have one heck of a time finding a near flawless copy. This thread is for showing off some of those tough black cover mags. Post 'em if you got 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Skywalds were notorious for some tough black covers. Add to that, whatever type of ink they used always came off and created fingerprints and smudges. Here are some better examples I've luckily come across...

Jayman Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 The 22 above and this 18 were both from Doug Sulipa years ago. The 18 is even tougher as it's back cover is black also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I thought I had a better copy of this one. Maybe I do and forgot to scan it. Anyhow you can see the infamous fingerprints on this copy. Also this issue has some great Tom Sutton art within! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakman29 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Forgive the other pic. Seems we can't delete a photo once it's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt that it's a great photo. Spoiler When you go to edit... go to the very bottom and click the garbage can icon at the bottom right of the photo you want to delete. It should say "remove this attachment" when you hover over it. I think that would work. oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
