How to get rid of lead marks inside comicbook portfolio case pages?
I've put several drawings in my portfolio case and each time I want to replace them with other drawings, it leaves lead marks on the inside of the pages. It looked awful and so I tried wiping the inside with a cloth but it doesn't quite come out.
I was left with no other option then to buy several new cases. Its annoying but a waste because so many pages were unused.
I've started photocopying my drawings to avoid it from happening.
Is there any way to protect the inside sleeve or a way to reduce the lead marks?

I am assuming that you mean graphite from pencils and not lead. First of all it is a good idea to place a blank sheet of an inexpensive paper to cover graphite drawings for just the reason that you have. Tracing paper cut to size will afford some transparency if you want the drawing to be seen somewhat. Secondly get a kneaded eraser and use it to clean up the portfolio. Also removing the work from the portfolio,temporarily and using a household liquid cleaning agent will remove the graphite, Allow to completely dry and return the drawings. Using a "workable" fixative aerosol spray will also prevent graphite from smudging and transferring. Also know that once fixed a drawing underneath a fixative can not be erased to make changes. And although "workable" you may want to experiment on something else before using the fixative to see if any medium that you might want to add to the graphite drawings works on top of the fixative.
Well that guy is Kane lol. I would mark out but there needs to be a really good storyline to back this up.
