About the Manchester studio
Site Work Line grew out of a small group of collectors and archivists in Manchester who were tired of losing track of how an NFT comic looked on the day it arrived.
Mission
We write down the visual facts of Marvel NFT comics: covers, interiors, serials, and the condition of the files a collector can export. The mission is memory, not trading.
Origin
The first logs were paper sheets on Deansgate, filled after evening reading sessions when a thumbnail on a phone no longer matched the splash people remembered. Neighbours asked for copies of the sheet. The studio name followed the work, not the other way around.
Expertise
The people in the room have handled print bags, Mylar, and also the awkward middle ground of digital editions. We know when a “foil” look is only a texture overlay, and when a gutter has actually collapsed. We are not colourists for hire and we do not restore files.
People
Sittings are led by a notes editor and a second reader who watches for missed pages. We introduce ourselves on the call. There is no chatbot and no intake form on this website.
Approach
You bring the device and the files. We bring lighting discipline, checksum habits, and vocabulary from print collecting translated into pixels. You leave with paper and a local file. We leave with nothing that can open your comic.
Values
Clarity over hype. No fake scarcity talk. No countdown language. Marvel characters belong to their owners; we talk about pages and files, not about pretending to be a studio imprint.
Community
Collectors in Great Britain sometimes bring estate questions: a relative held editions and nobody wrote down the serials. We will sit with the surviving screenshots and be honest about what cannot be reconstructed.
