The late, great, Leonard Brown

 

I'm glad you knew who that was. Too often I get this sickening feeling that the first generation of collectors are simply forgotten. If it wasn't for them, there'd be a lot less GA to collect. So many of them remain nameless, yet they loved these books and saved them when most people could have cared less.

I bought Leonard's comic collection in the early 90s. It became known as the Crescent City Collection.

 

His best friend for many years is our own Richard Olsen (yellow kid). He can tell you many stories about their exploits in those days

What were the grades on Bats 1 and Supes 1? Were there any early Actions or Tecs?

 

Do you still have any of these books?
