this was my little "recap" last year when we started selling the W W books (from the selling forumn)
Quality Comix (with a little help from Detective27kid) are proud to offer a never before seen, original owner Golden Age collection that features books from 1942-1955.
This collection contains some Timely/Altas Subby, Human Torch and MMC, Nedor Thrilling and Startling, large groups of Military, Modern and Wings comics, some nice Pre code Horror and some misc DC, EC and other publishers..
This will be the first of the offerings, with the balance to follow...
A little background on this Original Owner collection...his name was Earnest, and he was from France and learned to read from comics....the lovely 71 year old lady (yes, it really was a "little old lady") that sold them to us, inherited them when Earnest recently passed...
virtually all comics have 2 "w" penciled on the front cover, and the date of the comic written on each...so, we have dubbed it the "ww" collection...
Earnest lived/grew up in San Fran, where all the copies were purchased by him (some pq like the rileys, really white...others not so good...all the books were well read)...they moved to GA a few years back, and when he passed, Wattie (the lovely lady whom lives 5 minutes from me) got the comics because she and Earnest used to both read them as a child (or something along those lines)...
280 or so books from 1942 to 1955...Wattie's daughter's (Rebecca) husband (Clay) did a wonderful job organizing, researching, and contacting perspective buyers in the area...just so happened that Brent from quality and I were really the only 2 interested in taking time to view them (isn't that so funny)..... they asked us to make an offer, we did, and they were happy and we have 2 wonderful boxes of comics that Brent (mainly) and I will be offering for sale in the coming weeks.
