Cleaning & Pressing Your Comics
What is our service?
Your comics will be cleaned and pressed by experts. This process improves the condition of the comic and brings out the maximum potential of your comic! We take care of the cleaning and pressing. Having treated thousands of issues, we have built up extensive expertise and know exactly how to treat a comic.
Duration of cleaning & pressing: 2 weeks
Our offer includes the following points:
- A light cleaning, also known as a "dry clean", is done to clean the surface of the comic and remove dust and other residue.
- Dents are removed to eliminate unevenness in the comic.
- A heat pressing is performed to remove any "pressable" defects such as creases or folds and return the comic to its original condition.
- A cold pressing is done to prevent the comic from returning to a previous wrinkled state.
- Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that no new defects will appear during cleaning. This is especially true for older magazines.
Additional service:
- HOP treatment: Here, dirt is removed from the cover of the comic using the HOP process. This includes a comprehensive treatment with special solvents and pressing techniques.
- Premium cleaning (HOP+UV treatment): Here, dirt is removed from the cover of the comic using the HOP process. This includes comprehensive treatment with special solvents and pressing techniques. The comic is also treated with UV. Yellowed pages are treated with a special lamp so that the original white color appears again. (Regular cleaning is included in the premium cleaning)
This is what cleaning & pressing can do:
- Removal of bends, wrinkles and other imperfections
- The value of the comic is increased
- Not all damage can be repaired (e.g. paint breaks)
A notice:
It is not possible to press comics with a foil cover such as Venom: Lethal Protector, as the cover could melt at the high temperature. The comics must also not be too fragile or brittle, as the cleaning process cannot be carried out effectively if the material is too damaged. If the value of the comic exceeds 1000€, an individual price calculation is required.

Why comic cleaning & pressing?
Mishandling and exposure to the elements can cause comics to suffer from creases, folds, tears, missing pieces, stains, and browning. Unwanted repairs - such as paint stains, glue, and tape - can also lower a comic book's rating. A comic book cleaner specializes in correcting or removing these defects and repairs to improve a comic's appearance and condition.
