Question about cleaning old comic pages
I keep seeing people at the shop try to wipe dust off silver age books with a dry cloth, which can scratch the ink, so I always tell them to use a soft brush instead, like the one I got from a kit in Chicago last year.

Yeah, and it's wild how many folks don't know about a simple soft brush. I had a beat up copy of Fantastic Four 48 that was just covered in that gritty dust, and a dry microfiber cloth was making it worse, smearing more than cleaning. I switched to a big, fluffy makeup brush my wife wasn't using, the kind with the really soft bristles, and it just lifted everything off without any pressure. Totally get what @the_jenny is saying, it's like watching someone slowly ruin the cover. That brush method saved that book for me.
