Yellow Kid Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 My brother was ten years older and used to leave his comics all over the house. My mother told me that I taught myself to read from them during the late 1940's but I don't remember organizing and collecting them until the 1950's. My now departed dear friend,Ray Funk. was a true collector, specializing in Buck Rogers but loving it all. He was about 20 years older and could remember buying everything off of the stands as it came out in the 1930's. I can vividly remember buying Uncle Scrooge in "Only A Poor Old Man" off of the stands but he could remember buying Action #1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 My now departed dear friend,Ray Funk. was a true collector, specializing in Buck Rogers but loving it all. I only met Ray Funk once and it was early in my collecting career. A buddy brought me over to his house and I was just amazed as I stepped through the door - he had complete runs of Fiction House books stacked on the floor! If I recall correctly, I believe it was said that he had used his collection to catalog the Fiction House covers. Anyway, I was young and dumb - and didn't have much money at the time - so I ignored everything except for a few of the earlier Jumbos which I bought. I've always wondered whatever happened to his collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
