Tips For Taking Care Of Comic Books 

1. Store your comic books in polypropylene or mylar bags. 
2. Store your comic books upright and not in stacks. Since the comics are stapled, the stacks are always lopsided. 
3. To provide extra protection from bending while storage, use acid-free backboards. 
4. Wash your hands before reading comics. Your greasy hands might soil them. 
5. Do not store them in basements or attics. Store them in a place with an even temperature throughout, such as your closet. 
6. To protect your comics from pollutants and acid degradation, you can put micro-chamber papers between the front and back covers, and the interior pages. 
7. Always keep your comic box full.
