I foun a great Superman figure, costume and cape are in great condition but somebody painted a big "S" on the costume with a pen or sharpie, how do I remove it??

Alcohol is the best solvent to use on Sharpie.

yeah i always use alcohol to,but I've never been able to remove it from cloth without making it worse

Yeah it stinks when you get a great figure or ouit that has been marked like that.

I have RM Robin that had a mask drew on with a marker and I've been wondering what to do about getting it off of him. I did try remove zit but it didn't work.

Abmac can you tell me what brand you use so I can get the one that you know works?

thanks for the question and answer here, I've been wondering about this kind damage too.

when using alcohol you have to be careful though cause it will remove the original paint of the eyes and eye brows if your not careful

[ABMAC]

Ric, I just use the cheap rubbing alcohol sold at Wal-Mart. I don't think the brand really matters. They're all pretty much the same.

I don't think alcohol will remove paint from a head, but you should test it on a junk head just to be sure.
