Comic book conservation involves the preservation and protection of comic books to ensure their longevity and maintain their condition. This process includes proper storage, handling, and environmental control to prevent damage from light, humidity, and pests. Techniques such as using acid-free bags and boards help protect the pages and covers from wear and tear. Additionally, conservationists may perform restoration work on damaged comics, which can include repairing tears, cleaning pages, and reinforcing bindings. Organizations and collectors often follow guidelines set by professional bodies to maintain the value and integrity of their comic book collections while ensuring they can be enjoyed for generations to come.
