Marvel Spotlight: Part 1 - Cracking, cleaning, & pressing square bound comic books - CPR - CGC CBCS
Here we have another epic crack, clean, and press project on two classic comics, Marvel Spotlight 2 and 6. In part 1 of this series, we focus on Marvel Spotlight 2, which is a square bound (prestige format) comic book. Pressing square bound books requires you to protect the spine from flattening and the cover from staple damage. You also need to press "low and slow" so that you don't melt the binding glue.
