wondered that.. The date stamp here on this Torch 8 looks reminiscent to a SF... Thoughts?

Recent upgrades, 4 out of 8...

two of my favorite PCH covers

I got to know Alex around the late 80's and at that time he had bought about 40 drawings from me from my studio, unfortunately I didn't start recollecting comics until a few years later and John grabbed all the Mile Highs from him already. I think a few also turned up at that first Sotheby's sale like the Cap 7 if my memory is right. Alex traded everything, from diamonds to African Totems to real estate. But it seemed his main passion was for American art, specifically American Naturalist landscape painting as in the Hudson River School. I wonder where he is now and if anyone here might know?

I would agree that John's Timely collection would blow even the Promise books out of the water. If graded today many would be serious 9.8's. I had the opportunity to see some of the Church copies when Alex Acevedo from the Alexander Gallery had them. He used to have his Gallery on Madison Ave. in the late 80's and early 90's. He exhibited illustration art as well as fine art then and had one of the first if not the first one person exhibitions of Frank Frazetta and H.R. Giger.

Thank you so much for those kind words. Cap was my favorite superhero as a kid... maybe because he was the only one my Dad and I could both relate to. I bought a ton or art in the early 70's but then sold it with my comics later on during college for a months rent and a couch. It wasn't until the 90's that I started collecting again with my kids. Here are a few Timely's in 9.6 in a group shot..

some from my collection, not recent purchases but I thought to share a few..

The Black Cat 50 was picked up in the 90's and the WTOTF almost 20 years ago. There are some great and even ungraded PCH collections out there that you newbies have not seen the likes of.

Here are three newer additions ...

An add from the Comic Buyers Guide from the 90's. Look at those prices for Chicago Marvel Mysteries. I bought a few then but most were already sold out. I wonder what happened to that Brooklyn dealer.
