The Secret To Removing Distribution Ink From Comic Books!

This is my one shot How-To video on how to correctly remove distribution ink from comic books! I was able to buy this silver age Fantastic Four 20, the 1st appearance of the Molecule Man, for cheap because of the distribution ink. After cleaning, i now have a big boost in value! I show the different tools and techniques of removing distribution ink from a comic book and what to watch out for so you don't remove the underlying inks and gloss if possible. These inks were used on Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Copper Age books from both Marvel and DC Comics so these materials and methods are relevant to any collector of vintage comic books.
