ciorac Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is Pinocchio a coloring book? I thought it wasn't a Feature book. bb It is the exact same size as a Large Feature, but it is an illustrated story book from 1939 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yesterday afternoon I had the great pleasure of coming into the last ever comic books owned by Collectors Bookstore of Hollywood. Many of you have probably heard about this famous comic shop that turned into the foremost seller of movie memorabilia and collectibles. You've probably seen many pictures and read/heard numerous stories about the glory days of this store in the 1960's - 1980's. They stopped selling comics quite a few years ago. But, one batch remained in an obscure file cabinet in the basement, until recently. It is nice to have a piece of comic history, and books from legendary dealer Malcolm Willits. Here is a group shot of them below. The lone SA book is a stunning ASM 14, that has some of the nicest gloss and colors of any copy that I've ever owned of this book. It looks so fresh and new. The others are all essentially mid-grade with the occasional 6.0 - 7.0 Hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I am enjoying them. My buddy Rich Olson, who has known Mal since the shop opened, put me on to the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
