An interesting bit of trivia about August Derleth, one of the founders of Arkham House, was that he was a comic collector. In this 1966 letter (image saved from eBay listing) he claimed that he owned the largest collection of comics in the world.

Wikipedia says: "Derleth's papers and comic book collection (valued at a considerable sum upon his death) were donated to the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison."
