Full spectrum sunscreen for my slabs, got it

[1950's war comics]

i can spot a comic that has been washed out by lights or the sun real easy these days and i don't like them , many times a washed out comic has the same price as a similar, bold color comic which makes no sense

I grease mine up with Banana Boat Sport, SPF 50!  Protects them and they slide off the wall real easy like.

This supports the theory that Humans (and therefore comic books) did not originate on Earth.  If we had truly evolved here we surely would have had a built in defense to these rays by now.  The fragility of the Human species suggests that we more than likely came from Mars many years ago... this also explains why we are somehow 'drawn' back to the red planet.  Google it.

There’s a few places I feel ‘drawn’ to.  Mars is not one of them.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going out to buy plywood to cover all my windows. Including the side windows in my car.

The real interesting thing is that seemingly none of us care about the health of our skin (the intention of the article), but are obsessed about how the boldness of the colors on our favorite books are going to hold up.

Same company that makes slab pros makes a reusable UV protector. I have them on all the slabs I have on display. My wife thinks I'm nuts for wanting my displays in the least light drenched parts of rooms.

Sit her down and tell her honey-some day I will sell these books, and light damage can turn a $1000 book into a $50 book-do you understand?  I'm doing this for US-

I've already sat her down and told her she can sell once my corpse is cold in the ground. I'm a dragon and comics are my gold.

Maybe it is just me , but this sounds like encouraging her to get you engaged to a more dangerous and life shortening lifestyle.  Just be weary of surprise skydiving,  bungie jumping, tours of a volcano,  etc trips for you and your friends .

The adrenaline junkie in me says that would be a welcome change of pace, as long as my parachute isn't filled with silverware.
