| clickable text I've just seen this on ebay UK. A CGC slab which has the note : "8 Siamese pages" with no further explanation. I've tried googling it of course but all I get are bloody pictures of cats! What, pray, are Siamese pages? |

| I assume pages that are uncut? So they're like a loop? | ||

| a Siamese page note indicates that there is a duplicate of the same page in the comic. Happens with covers on rare occasions as well. Nuff said. | ||

| Ah, makes sense. Like double covers but interior pages. Multiples of the same wrap. | ||

| From the books I've come across Siamese pages are at the corner joined together. If the paper was at a slight angle miscut, there still a bit of paper connecting. I've never actually had a book where they werent torn apart, as i'm assuming anyone reading them as a kid would just separate the pages |

Here's an example of Siamese pages from an Amazing Spider-Man #28 I have. The outer edges of the paper are not cut all the way through, thus the paper is still joined together. It's a manufacturing defect. It's surprising this one survived all these years without being ripped or cut apart. |

| One interesting socio-historical note: people who are joined at birth are called "conjoined" twins, with the phrase "Siamese twins" considered a bit of a negative epithet, having been used to describe the Bunker brothers, Chang and Eng, who were, in fact, from Siam. Interesting because we still use the phrase to describe pages that have not been completely separated from each other by cutting. It's not a phrase that means doubled pages, though. At least, that's not how CGC uses the term. |
