HuddyBee Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Okay, so I know there's probably a better place for this in the forum somewhere, but I could not find it, so what better place I thought then in the newbie section. I found this odd copy of Marvel Tales 99 the other day. I know its a Mark Jewelers Variant as it has 40 pages with the mark jewelers insert. However the front cover has a very interesting printing defect, that I've yet to see in a comic book. It looks as though only the color blue was printed during this comics manufacturing. At first I thought it might be some kind of extreme fading, but after further examination, there is no hint of red, yellow, or green any where on the cover. The back cover's colors are fine along with the inside. I have attached pics of the comic. Does anyone know what this is? Is it rare? Have you ever seen any other comics with a similar defect? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I think certain colors fade from sun quicker than others, red being the quickest - the fact that the Marvel's TV sensation logo (red/yellow) is plain white is pretty neat but the fact that the back cover doesn't have the same color loss is an indication that it's just a it's just a sun-faded beat to heck copy of a reprint. My suggestion is to print this page and tape it to the interior back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Extreme Fade, that's why I keep the good ones in very dark areas. kairos70 and BlowUpTheMoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor006 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yep, I agree. This one was sitting in a store window or displayed for a very long time somewhere. Sun faded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
