Hello, Anyone have any techniques/tutorials on how to create a worn aged magazine/really old comic book cover look? Torn/chipped edges, fold lines etc. Thanks in advance

One method would be to get a source of old paper (hi-rez if possible) and use that as a base to overlay your artwork on top of.
Do a search on old paper in a free photo site like MORGUE FILE. Hopefully, you should be able to find something.

I found this site that has about 350 tutorials that are simply awesome. You might find what you need there :)

Retrocity has gave you awesome idea. With old paper image you have save allot of work in a start. You can extract just the scratches with High pass and Color range to get one of the texture parts for overlay. You can fake paper damage with Clouds, G Blur and Treshold. For coloring I would use Hue/Saturation. Hope this will give you some idea :)
