What is the best way to clean dusty books and comics?

I recently found a lot of old books and comic books which were sitting at the attic for a long time. They are really dusty, so I want to know what is the best way to clean the dust without causing damage to the books.

Get a damp cloth . Wipe the covers make sure the cloth isnt dripping wet.

Try a fabric softener dryer sheet.

Just a try terry cloth towel but there probably is some special cleaner somewhere.
