Marvel comic paper

I've found my old collection again, and have noticed something about the paper. A quick check shows that comics printed in 1986 and later don't have much yellowing. Did Marvel change the paper at that time? If not, perhaps I just kept better care of those issues.

Mando paper was introduced around that time.

Which is why I always say - damn the computer coloring and the glossy paper - how the heck can you read the current books under a light? Reflections, glare, the pages look like they are wrinkly and crackle when you turn them. I hate Marvel's current printing on some books. But hey - what's another price hike...

What I hate the most about the current paper material is that it makes it pretty much impossible to conveniently store the comic books. You cannot just put them piles: they are so slippery that the pile *will* topple (or, rather, *slide* down) once you have, say, 20 issues in one pile. Am I supposed to put them in boxes (rather than simply in the shelf as I would prefer to do) or tie them up with a rope?

This didn't happen with any previous comic book paper.
