Another great project. Looking forward to this one. I have a Wonder Woman comic in worse condition that also requires least casting, but I don't really have the knowledge base to pull it off yet. Really wish there was a workshop on some of these techniques. In the meantime, I'll have to continue to tune into your videos and dig through the conservation guide when it ships to prepare me.
Thanks Jason! Absolutely you can do it! It really isn’t a difficult technique after you get the tools and basics and practice a few times. I was hesitant to do it on expensive book but have achieved pretty good results after a few practice sessions.
Cotton rounds and erasers. You showed a nice gentle touch through out the cleaning. I personally have trouble maintaining that mindset for long periods, and I have to step away. We look forward to seeing the progress on this Wonder Woman comic book.
Professor, even in this state what a beautiful collectible. This was published posthumously after Dr. Marston's death so is one of the very last he wrote before passing away on May 2nd of 1947. For me, the golden age of Wonder Woman comics ended with the last stories he wrote illustrated by Harry Peter. After his death, DC really didn't have any writers that understood how to write the character unfortunately. Thank you for saving this treasure! Looking forward to seeing the final results my friend!
Absolutely Dr Paul, agreed! I usually shoot for that period when Peter was still involved. I probably own a few issues from the period. Other Wonder Women issues I gathered were Silver age and I think most came from lots that I purchased on eBay. Thanks for stopping by Doctor.

Nice cleaning session!
Yes, indeed! Thanks for stopping by, Vuluu21816!

Bravo Peter! Really looking forward to this project being a golden age book!
It’s great to work on Golden age, again, Jerry!
Very nice book to conserve. Can't wait for the next step. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! The next step is going to be the math behind least casting, which was a real challenge.
Great comic - love it. Looking forward to the final results
Thanks Don, appreciate it!
Love your process of restoration even though I would be petrified to do it
It’s not difficult, just takes practice to do. Appreciate you for stopping by!
