ronvogel Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 From an early age I had an appreciation for history and antiquity, so in addition to the usual stuff collectors my ages sought out, I kept my eyes open for some more unique material. In high school, I worked Saturdays at Comic Book Heaven's flea market booth in Queens. I'd make $40 and spend $50. Every week, my boss would chastise me, especially when I bought "junk books" like this one (I think this one was $5). Now, 16 year old me, a young art student to be, sometimes took in projects and tried to make them more presentable - so what you have here is a fairly attractive book, but thanks to the use of a special pen & ink that allowed me to carefully fill in creases on the cover. Unfortunately when the damage was more severe, it would bleed through the cover and show on the inside, as shown in the last few photos here. Curb appeal is certainly nicer, but I'm not sure the overall value is up or down from the non-modified version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
