Testimonials

 “This was my first time to have comics pressed and it won’t be my last – and I’m sticking with Kevin! Professional, quick and courteous service and AMAZING results. He brought mid-grade books (7.5/8.0) into the 9s – all came back 9.8 from CGC. Simply incredible. Kevin is the guy to get it done. Don’t submit another book for grading without first putting it in the magical hands of The Comic Doctor. ”    Will H., Toronto, ON


“This is the first time I have ever had my comics pressed and cleaned, and I was a bit skeptical going into it as to how much improvement could actually be made on them.  Needless to say, I was blown away by Kevin’s results.  He is a true professional in every sense of the word. My comics were mid grades before, but have definitely gone up a ton in both appearance and grade.  Not only that, but the whole experience of dealing with Kevin has been fantastic- upon meeting him for the first time, I showed him a few books that I wanted pressed and he advised me on which ones would benefit most by a good pressing- he then accommodated my request to have them all done prior to a comic con that I was attending and he even managed to ship them to me in an incredibly wrapped package.  I am so impressed with the whole experience and can’t wait to send Kevin more of my collection.”  Glenn S., Toronto, ON


“Kevin does good work.  He’s an honest guy! I have submitted many lower-mid grade books with mild cover defects and his cleaning and pressing made a world of difference.  I highly recommend him!”  Roy from Paper Heroes Comics & Collectables, Oshawa, ON


 I had several comics that had moisture damage, but you’d never know it after they were pressed. Thanks, Kevin!”   Paul F., Brooklin, ON


 I just wanted to see if pressing really worked.  And it does.”  Adam S., Toronto, ON


I highly recommend The Comic Doctor!  Kevin’s cleaning and pressing breathed some welcomed new life back into some very rare and important Vampirellas from  my own personal collection.  Tried and true, Kevin has made a repeat customer out of me.  I have plenty of other titles that need his magic!  A fantastic experience all around.  Thanks!”  Rob M., Toronto, ON


 It’s remarkable that the imperfections of my comic books could be removed so easily through this pressing and cleaning process – years of accumulated defects and grime are now gone!  The finished product is a direct result of Kevin’s refined methods and meticulous nature.”  Ben P., Oshawa, ON


 This is a job for…COMIC DOCTOR!!! Able to flatten imperfections in a single press…Able to turn a 7.5 into an 8.5 (or better)…but most of all…Able to handle your high quality books without worry…The most honest person I have met in comics.  THANKS for your efforts!!!” Peter J., Ajax, ON


“Hey Kevin, Got the [comic] book today…Nice work my man!!!  This book will get a nice bump now…Appreciate the professionalism…”   Greg F., Milton, ON


“I couldn’t be happier with the results of your work. The comics I sent in look amazing and it is clear that the grades on them will have improved considerably. I am amazed at the defects you were able to correct, I thought some of those were simply not correctable, I was wrong! I especially appreciate the communication during this process. Being able to discuss specific defects and set expectations is such a better experience than using one of the big grading services to press books and hoping for the best. I will be using you again and recommending you to friends! Great value and results!”  James C., Katy, TX, USA


“Fast, Safe Shipping, and i can definitely see an improvement- they look great!  I’m sure they will get a higher grade with CGC now.  I’m already thinking of which comics to send you next.  This is the first time I ever had comic books pressed and cleaned.  Totally worth it. I’ll be in touch soon.”  Steve F., Montreal, QC


“I have been collecting comic books for over 30 years now and I just had my very first one pressed. I chose the Comic Doctor to perform this service and must say I am very pleased with the results. The first thing I liked about the experience is that the Doctor provided his telephone number on his website and encouraged potential customers to call. I did call and we had a thorough conversation about my book and the Doctor shared with me honestly about the concerns he had with the patient’s condition. My book was 75 years old and had a serious spine roll. The Doctor told me to send the book to him and he would do what he could but the condition was more than likely terminal. The Doctor had a great bedside manner throughout the entire process and we talked numerous times during the treatment period. I received my book back this past weekend and I am happy to report it has had new life breathed into it and it looks healthy and vibrant again. Long live the Comic Doctor”    Joseph H., Lenexa, KS, USA


“Kevin, I Just opened the box..wow!! Very happy! All the books look a lot better.  In particular that New Mutants 98 – I think it’s up to an 8.0 and the Amazing Spider-Man 129 looks so much cleaner, particularly the back cover. Great work my friend!! :)”  Jeremy F., Ottawa, ON


“The Comic Doctor is one of the best Comic pressing guys I know in the industry. He diagnosed the problems for each of my comic books meticulously and used his knowledge and expertise to enhance the appearance of the books using his profound pressing skill. I am so happy with the noticeable results and received higher grades particularly on my graded New Mutants 98 1st Deadpool Appearance  (went from CBCS 9.6 to CGC 9.8). I would definitely recommend the Comic Doctor for my comic pressing needs. His attention to detail and smooth friendly service is second to none . Best in Canada bar none.” Frank C., Toronto, ON


“Hi Kevin.  I received the comics today – Awesome!  An amazing job my friend.  Thanks again.  [I will] Keep in touch for a second submission.”  Glenn L., St. Eustache, QC


“Hi Kevin.  I got my comic books back today.  Incredible job, particularly on the Dracula – I’m really impressed. You are a magician.  They are going to CBCS this weekend.  Will prepare about 10 other books in the next month for you”  Stéphane P., Val d’Or, QC


“I am relatively new to the whole comic book collecting hobby/industry, prior to attending my very first big comic book convention I wanted to get my comics in the best shape possible before getting signed and eventually slabbed. I did my research and found a few but ultimately decided to contact Kevin and inquire about his services and the process.  He was prompt to reply, he is professional, honest and answered all my questions and defused all the misconceptions I may have formed while doing my research.  After that it was a easy decision to sent my comics. The communication was the best part of this whole process – I felt I was made part of the process, he communicated which books should be pressed and which shouldn’t.  When having all the information, the decisions were made easy on how to proceed.  And just like that y comics were done and returned my to me.  First of all, this is the best securely packaging I’ve ever seen in my life!! And second, the comics look amazing !!! what a great job!! They look so good that I reviewed the invoice once over and thought I should have been charged more for that level of professionalism and craftsmanship.  I am over the moon with my experience with The Comic Doctor and will be sending more of my comics his way.  Thank you again.” J.J.,  Ottawa, ON


“Kevin, overall I am very pleased with your pressing an cleaning service!  I am especially thankful for all your assistance  in the entire process, updates,  explanation and careful return and packaging of comics.  I definitely recommend your service!  You may publish any of my comments.  Some might help USA customers feel more confident about the process…I am looking forward to [the return of] the CGC submissions, especially Tomb of Dracula 10, Ms. Marvel 1 and Star Wars 42.  I know it is a crap shoot – I hope I get a grader after a great cup of coffee!  … I am already putting together my next batch.”  James S., Asheville, NC


“I can’t say enough kind words for the exceptional pressing service perfomed on my $1000 bill. The folds are noticeably less visible and many of the imperfections are non-existent as a result of timely and detailed work.  I fully recommend the Comic Doctor for pressing bills as the grade received post-press is significantly higher than was expected.  Thanks for the tremendous work once again!”  Frank C., Toronto, ON


“Got the books today – great work! Will most definitely be sending some more to you…the Marvel Team Up was a total right off and now is actually worth holding on to, it looks great! The Batman 232 is just wow! Really looks great.”  Brad L., Edmonton, AB
