How long does it take for a comic book or GN to decompose (rot away etc)

[Planet-man]

Alan Moore's MIRACLEMAN (MARVELMAN) disintegrates as soon as it's read, which is why there's so few copies around.

Actually, WATCHMEN is continually evaporating. That's why DC has to keep it perpetually in print, and why Alan Moore will never, ever, get the rights to it.

Well played, good sir.

That said, your rule DOES explain why it's so easy to find a lot of 90s Image Comics.

I'm right about all things at all times.

I'm right about all things at all times.

Except that sentence right there.

 

[Planet-man]

Conceive it.

But it's okay. You can abort it later.

To answer the original question, "stored under ideal conditions, paper and film have an estimated shelf life of 200-300 years", according to "Life After People"

But I'd be willing to bet that the average comic would probably last less.

And as the video clearly states, the life of digital media might be surprisingly short.

And I bet you haven't even read them.

 

[Planet-man]

And I bet you haven't even read them.

It's true.

But hopefully this year, if not this quarter. I am finally reading Watchmen now so possibly after that.

*basks*

 

[moonmaster]

It's true.

Oh **** you.

You're worse than Mole.



Yeah.

I said it.

 

[Random]

Oh **** you.

You're worse than Mole.



Yeah.

I said it.

That's harsh

 

[Planet-man]

Oh **** you.

You're worse than Mole.

I intend to and look forward to reading them, in fact, the only reason I haven't is that I've been saving them until I'm in the right mood for maximum enjoyment.

Not only am I not worse than Mole, I think I've just irrefutably proved I'm better than Moonmaster!

I would challenge that assertion.

 

[Planet-man]

I would challenge that assertion.

I was looking for a fight.

New escrima sticks.

It had to be said.

It's funny because it works on an extra level.

Interesting. I just bought a case of Old School Whoop ***.

 

[compound]

New escrima sticks.

:shock:

Consider me officially ignorant; I honestly didn't believe there was anybody who practices eskrima in North America (outside of maybe some Filipino American/Filipino Canadian communities).

How big is it over there? (Reply in a new thread, if appropriate.)

I have no idea, although I think the police and army's knightstick training might count.

But PERSONALLY, I love 'em. Versitile, distinctive, cool looking in a fight. I watch every YouTube video I can find on Escrima tutorials and amaturishly practice by myself with plain ol' wooden sticks for fun.
