My entire long box of 90s comics got soaked in a basement flood last month
I was moving some stuff around in my basement and found a big puddle under my main comic storage area. The plastic bin I thought was waterproof had a tiny crack along the bottom seam. It must have been there for a while, but a small leak from our water heater finally found it. About 300 books were in there, mostly from the 'Death of Superman' era and the early Image launch. The bottom third were stuck together, and the colors were running on the covers. I panicked, but then I remembered a tip from a forum. I carefully pulled the worst ones apart, slid wax paper between every single page, and laid them flat with fans on low. It took three full days, but I saved about 80 percent of them. The ones that were a total loss were mostly duplicates, thankfully. Has anyone else had to do major comic rescue work? What's your method for drying them out without making the pages wavy?
