Iron Man 55
This was favorite book of a customer and he wanted it to look new again. The top corner of the front cover had been torn and someone put scotch tape over it on inside cover.  Since I was going to do a full restoration I repaired all other tears and did some extra color touch along creases.

This book was previously restored by an amateur.  I had to remove some glue along the spine as well as some color touch.  Since this had to be done, my client decided to fully restore it.    You will see various stages of restoration.
Cleaning the cover, humidifcation and pressing.
Reinforcing the spine with Japanese tissue from top to bottom as well as filling in any holes along spine and edges.
Color touch along interior and exterior of cover.
Lots of detail in creased, mended areas of front cover and back.
Each individual page pressed to remove any spine roll.
Restored cover re-assembled onto interior using original staples and book pressed intact.

This is an already restored book and client wanted to fix the tape pull.

The surface of the cover (and inside cover) needed to be carefully prepared and reinforced for proper color touch.
