Duffman_Comics Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 OK, I'll bite. What is the "White Ants" pedigree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knot's*dew Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The "white Ants" are a group of comics and toys that were discovered in a sealed-off room of a basement in Oakland CA about 10 years ago. There were two boxes of comics... one stacked upon the other, with a YIELD sign between the two. It seems that termites had eaten all of the books in the box that had contact with the floor, but the top box was saved. Most of the comics in the top box were pretty nice. This was one of those comics. They were dubbed "white Ants" by the new owners. I would not call them a true pedigree, but a collection that deserved some type of recognition.

selegue Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) This is one of the "White Ants" collection... From drskull9 on ebay? I remember him describing that bizarre find. skypinkblu probably does too. I bought constantly from him back in the day, at least on the rare occasions when Sharon didn't outbid me. Jack PS: Was there more than one "White Ants" collection or are we talking about the same one? Your description says CA. Maybe more than one seller had them -- drskull9 sells out of PA, I believe.

knot's*dew Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) The Coordinator sounds so impressive did you get a costume or at least a cape ? Sounds like a super-hero title "She's organized, impressive, she's The Coordinator" You know she made me say that right?

knot's*dew Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I actually have several of the "White Ants"... they were almost all "funny books" that survived. I hate to think what comics were devoured by the termites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response/info. I actually didn't realise the little buggers liked paper - thought paper's earlier incarnation as wood was their preferred tucker. Live and learn.
