Following the success of the films, the comics characters also reached the small screen.įor collectors, when a comic character stars in a movie or a television series, its value increases significantly. In recent years, the phenomenon of movies based on comics characters has gained momentum. Sometimes the second appearance and the origin of a character occur in the same comic book.ģ. The second appearance (and even third) of a character has value as well as the comic book which tells about the origin of a character. Therefore, it is important to protect comic books and to store them in a safe way (more on that later). The quality of a comic book is also a consideration. The more familiar the character is AND the older the first appearance is, the greater its value. If you purchase BCW products from a shop or other online store, we’ll figure it out.The crème de la crème is the first appearance of a familiar comic character (superhero or villain). If you order your supplies directly from BCW, sending replacements is straight-forward. If the sizes are off and not to your satisfaction, we’ll send replacements. You can take a ruler to the bags and boards and compare those sizes with what is listed on the packaging. It’s possible the boards are too wide, but not likely. If the comics are normal, thin books, then the bags are likely too small by a millimeter or two. If that’s the situation, try our Current Bags for Thick Comics that are a bit larger to accommodate for those thick books ( ). If you have thicker comics, with lots of pages likely, then the added size will push the bag causing that bend.

Nonetheless, most collectors want everything to stay flat. Your comics are safe if the bend is on the short side (you don’t want the comics to bend on the long side as the spine could get damaged). I do like the board to fully fill the bag width though. I’ve been using the wider Silver Boards with Regular/Silver bags, though the Regular Boards would probably work just as well. I don’t have any, but do have Silver bags and boards, though, and I find these work with the thicker DC.

The LCS suggests switching to a thicker bag. They’ll probably flatten out when stored in boxes. In fact the comics are quite obviously warped slightly, at least at first. Problem now is – since DC has switched to non-glossy paper, the books are clearly thicker and no longer fit well with the Current Boards inside the Modern/Current Bags. My LCS has always used comic-size Modern boards, and I find that the sides of the comics are not well-protected enough, so I have always replaced them with the slightly wider Current Boards. Ted, where you wrote “The Current Bags are slightly larger than the Modern Bags, so you’ll prefer the Current Boards inside Modern/Current Bags…” I think you must have meant the Current BOARDS are slightly larger than the Modern Boards. If you’re not sure what size of bags and boards you need, please measure your comics, and compare with the sizes listed below. To keep comic books preserved, they’re normally stored in bags with boards and you’ll want to get bags and boards sized appropriately for your collection.

Current/Modern Age – circa 1970 to present.

Regular/Silver Age – circa 1956 to 1969.For the purpose of bag and board sizes, BCW has simplified the sizes into three groups, or ages. Throughout the history of comic books, publishers have made comics is different sizes ( learn more from this article). While today’s comic books are normally 6 5/8″ wide by 10 3/16″ high (Current size), these dimensions were not always standardized.
