Troubleshooting
Bag is too small for the comic.
This bag is specifically designed for Silver Age comics. Ensure you are using the correct size for your comic book era. If you have a different era comic, you will need a different sized bag.
Comic feels loose in the bag.
For a snugger fit and added rigidity, consider using an archival-quality backing board inside the bag along with the comic.
Bags are sticking together.
