Hi folks!

On my recent journey in collecting the old EC pre-code comics I have finally run into that thing you cannot screen for when buying online. Oh yes. That head achy, pungent and insidious musty odor. I don’t mind the old paper smell but these are way extra. I've been looking online and am now coming to you all to share what your best techniques have been. Is it kitty litter? Ozonater? Baking Soda? Ideally I'm hoping not to spending tons of money on expensive gadgets to rid these otherwise great old of books of that nasty smell.

Captain America #109 — Kirby/Steranko-era Marvel energy, with the classic retelling of Cap’s origin.
Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #13 — Captain America and Bucky guest-star in the WWII setting, which makes it a great bridge between Golden Age Cap mythology and Silver Age Marvel.
Fantastic Four #51 — “This Man… This Monster!” One of the strongest standalone FF/Kirby stories, and one of the best Thing stories Marvel ever published.
Nice little stack: Cap’s origin, Cap/Bucky in WWII, and one of Kirby’s most human Fantastic Four issues. Not just keys these are actual story/history pieces.

Bringing some serious star-spangled energy for the 4th! 🎆 Check out this Daredevil #1 USA 250th Homage Variant by Greg Land. Luke Cage taking center stage with the team under the flag looks immaculate 🇺🇸✨
