Hop in mama, we’re spending #SheHulkSunday at muscle beach 💪💚

Hey #ComicSky. Conservation talk? You may have seen people using “eraser crumbs” from a “document cleaning pad” to gently clean older books. I was skeptical of how much this actually works until I took these pics. So now I present to you a DIFFERENT type of before and after: #Avengers #Marvel

Comics… for your ears! #Vintage #SpiderMan #Marvel #Cassette

The price was so low I feel like a criminal now… Avengers #53 #ComicSky #Marvel #Xmen #Avengers

Have a very merry #Thorsday! Or maybe I should say Throgsday? #ComicSky #Marvel #ComicBooks #Thor

Porky Pig back cover transformation! #ComicSky #LooneyTunes #ComicCleaning #ComicPressing

Porky Pig (Gold Key) - tear seal and pressing experiment. #ComicSky #ComicConservation #ComicPressing #GoldKey #LooneyTunes

A follow up to the tape removal! - a little bit of staining leftover - sealed with wheat paste and tengujo - porky is looking much healthier #ComicSky #ComicConservation #PorkyPig #LooneyTunes

I saw this in a window I walked past today. #VHS #FilmSky

WORLDS UNKNOWN #5! (pressed) I love this cover 💜 #ComicSky #Marvel #ComicPressing

Happy #SheHulkSunday everyone 💚💜🕷️

A few more pics showing the power of wet cleaning paired with tear sealing! #ComicSky #ComicCleaning #ComicPressing #ComicConservation

Feels good to have a dedicated space for conservation. Thanks so much to everyone who cares about my content and shares it with others!!! Time to look through my stack of sad looking project books for the next experiment! #ComicSky #Hulk #ComicConservation

Mama Mia! 🍄 #Vancouver #Fungi #Mushrooms #Mycology

This is the combined magic of wet cleaning and tear seals! #ComicSky #Hulk #ComicCleaning

The Incredible Hulk #114 - Cleaned, sealed and pressed! Unfortunately some ink washed off along with the staining, but that’s to be expected with these older books, especially in areas with heavy attrition like that bottom right corner. #ComicSky #ComicPressing #ComicCleaning #Hulk #Marvel

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Flat Cave!

Hey #ComicSky. Let’s talk conservation techniques. When a staple pops- there’s still hope through conservation! Here’s a centrefold that detached from its staples. I’ve used wheat paste and tengujo paper to realign / reinforce the torn fibres. These materials make the process reversible too!

Spider-Man playing the sax on my commute home 💜 I guess I could get used to this city 😂 #SpiderMan #StreetPerformer #Vancouver

Any time I look at my personal phone from 8 to 5 now… #ComicSky #ITYSL #ComicBooks

Why does the water smell fishy? 😭 #ComicSky #Hulk #ComicCleaning

My partner built me a new desk while I was away at work 🥰💚 #ComicSky #ComicPressing #ComicCleaning

Finally moved in and back to normal life! Which includes a rewatch of Batman 89 of course 🦇 #BatMan #JackNicholson #MichaelKeaton #FilmSky

Busy prepping the new Flat Cave 💚 Happy #SheHulkSunday to my #ComicSky friends ☺️

What a whirlwind! I’m excited to get back into comic pressing and cleaning content very soon! Also stay tuned for the new Flat Cave! For now feel free to check out #FlatTrip25 to see all the posts and #ComicPressing or #ComicCleaning in the mean time 💚☺️ #ComicSky #RoadTrip

#FlatTrip25 DAY 7 / 7 COMPLETE ANDD… that’s a wrap on my drive from Ottawa to Vancouver. Total Distance: 4617 km 👀 My final stop was Nifty Keen where this guy has been waiting patiently for me for months. (My partner told me I could buy him if I got the job) #ComicSky #Hulk #Marvel #ComicBooks

#FlatTrip25 DAY 6 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 604 km Duration: 7 hours Notes: The drive from Calgary to Kelowna was a wild and twisty one through the mountains. The snow reminded me of what it will be like to drive in Winter again! Today I kept it simple. #ComicSky #SpiderMan #Marvel #ComicBooks

Kelowna, BC. What a sweet mountainside city! I visited their offerings and wasn’t disappointed with the finds nor the people. Everyone’s so committed to taking care of each other here. Sweetnam’s Nik Naks even has a card selection with proceeds going to the local children’s hospital! #FlatTrip25

Un-flerking-believable. #Rockies #Canada #FlatTrip25 #Nature

Ok now we’re talkin’!!! Next stop is Kelowna, BC. Currently enjoying the snowy views of the Rockies. Will be making a stop off in one of the national parks for coffee 💚🇨🇦 #Banff #Rockies #FlatTrip25

Okay these are cute… 💚 #Gremlins #Mogwai #Gizmo #FilmSky

#FlatTrip25 DAY 5 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 740 km Duration: 7.5 hours Notes: Some fun pickups today, mostly from the antique mall of all places! I think I’m beginning to realize they are way better for not only value, but even selection and “surprise factor”! #ComicSky #SpiderMan #Marvel #Doom

Arrived in Calgary and visited “Alpha Comics”. Arguably the coolest and most stocked shop I’ve visited so far. #ComicSky #Calgary #ComicBooks #FlatTrip25

It really do be like this for 2500 km across the prairie provinces huh!? #FlatTrip25 #Canada #RoadTrip

Today’s destination is Calgary, AB. #FlatTrip25

#FlatTrip25 DAY 4 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 575 km Duration: 5.5 hours Notes: Check engine light on my way to Regina, SK today… looks like I might have some car troubles tomorrow so wish me luck. I stuck to antique shops since the local shops only carry new books. $1.50 CAD each! #ComicSky

I feel like this flea market find deserves his own post. I didn’t pick him up but they were asking $20 CAD which seemed fair. He was big!!! Maybe a 12 to 15 inches tall. #ComicSky #NightCrawler #Xmen #ActionFigured

#FlatTrip25 DAY 3 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 615 km Duration: 7.5 hours Notes: Ok so it’s Winnipeg, MB not AB 😂 I picked up the Iron Man book for $5… am I on a lucky streak? Hulk was free. It’s a wonderful city. I’ve got a cushy hotel so I’m eating a THC gummy and watching a movie. #ComicSky

Winnipeg, AB! Aside from having to tell off a homophobe at the flea market, this city is AMAZING. I visited too many shops to name and took too many pics to post so here are the highlights… more in the comments! Will post my pickups later tonight!!! #FlatTrip25 #ComicSky #Winnipeg #Vintage

Often imitated, but never duplicated… #SheHulkSunday

#FlatTrip25 DAY 2 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 690 km Duration: 7.5 hours Notes: Made a stop at the Wawa Goose (see additional pics in comments) Thunder Bay definitely has rough spots but the folks are very nice! There’s only 1 road into town from the East covered with construction 😩 🚧 #ComicSky

Visited “Hill City Comics” in Thunder Bay today among a few other shops. Check it out! The owner has a little comic pressing station in the basement! (see the last pic) “Gentle Giant Vintage” was also an absolute delight but I forgot to take pics 😆 #ComicSky #ComicBooks #Hulk #FlatTrip25

#FlatTrip25 DAY 1 / 7 COMPLETE Distance: 814 km Duration: 9 hours Notes: YES, that She Hulk book was only $4 CAD. Also, rural Ontario is actually extremely LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and honestly I think we have the strong indigenous population to thank for that wonderful paradigm 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧡 #ComicSky

Visited 2 incredible shops in the Soo today! “Vintage Games ‘n Junque” is an incredible treasure pile that feels like a Dragon should be sitting on top “The Rad Zone” is a collectibles/skateboard shop filled with the smells and sights of every decade known to man WILL POST MY PICKUPS SOON :3

@alfreds-mad-world.bsky.social I found heaven

#FlatTrip25 begins 🚙 Today’s destination: Sault Ste. Marie, ON

Honestly, 10/10 movie imho. Highly suggest it! Now I can’t wait to see Roofman return in Avengers: Doomsday! #FilmSky #Movies #Roofman

I got a lil stabby with the pumpkin this year… #Halloween #Punisher #Marvel #PumpkinCarving

These Marvel Legends prices are getting ridiculous… #IronMan #BlackPanther #Marvel #ComicSky
