HIGH GRADE SILVER AGE MARVELS FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER “NEW YORK STATE COLLECTION”:

This amazing group of books comes from the private collection of an artist who worked for both DC and Marvel. He began as an inker in the early 1980’s for DC (around 1982) and then shortly thereafter for Marvel. In the later years he worked for Dark Horse, Valiant and Topps. At DC he was the inker on various mystery titles plus Tomahawk and Challengers of the Unknown (in which George Tuska was the penciler). For Marvel, he worked on Crazy (magazine), Defenders, Powerman and Iron Fist and especially G.I. Joe, A Real America Hero (he inked almost every issue from #27 through #63), G.I. Joe Special Missions, Vision and the Scarlet Witch, Barbie plus a few issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man and a Spider-Man Graphic novel. For Dark Horse he inked the first Droids series, Indiana Jones, Young Indiana Jones and Aliens. He also was the inker for Valiant’s Zelda/Link adventures and for Topps’ Zorro and his career ended in 1997.

He began collecting comics in the early 1960’s, concentrating on the Marvel superhero titles. All of the books in his collection were bought first hand in New York State, initially in Scarsdale (Westchester County) and later on in New York City (hence the name “New York State Collection”). He purchased them from local news stands, read each book carefully and then stored them in his bedroom closet. After a few years they were put into polypropylene bags. He also collected DCs, Warren magazines, Heavy Metal, Atlas, Tower, comic strip collections, etc. This non-Marvel portion of his collection is still in storage and will be consigned to Pedigree Comics in the near future.

The auction contains only the high grade issues from his runs of Marvel titles. The titles include the most popular ones such as Amazing Spider-Man; Avengers; Daredevil; Fantastic Four; Journey Into Mystery; Sgt. Fury; Tales of Suspense; Thor and X-Men. There are strong runs of these titles with many books in the 7.5 to 8.5 range plus many in 9.0 to 9.6! Only the high grade copies will be debuting in the auction as the remaining books from the collection will be available in the New Arrivals and For Sale section of the site. Every book will be listed in the auction without a reserve. Here are some of the highlights of this recently certified collection:
