Avengers 57 bright yellow, not red ink16012

Collector Diodelad private msg quote post Address this user
I bought an Avengers 57 1968 that has bright yellow where there should be red ink on the cover. Is this something that would have happened in printing, like yellow instead of red ink? Or does red turn to yellow under certain environmental conditions? The blacks are sharp so it doesn’t seem like the cover is faded but maybe some light turns red to yellow and leaves the blacks crisp?. What would CBCS do with something like this if they graded it?

Bright colors on the back page means it's sun fade. Red and yellow is almost, if not always the first to go.

Okay, thank you! I actually kind of love the yellow Vision. I’m going to get another copy in red and maybe display them with a West Coast Avengers 45.

wall books under fluorescent lights that don't sell for years may also end up looking like that
