As previously posted, we are acquiring over the coming months two enormous collections of wonderful British & American comics and annuals from 1940s-early 1960s, which will comprise one of the most significant releases of vintage comics on to the market anywhere in the world at any time. These 'Star Collections' updates will feature on this page most weeks over the next few months as we grade, value and release parts of these collections.

This week, updates to two of the most popular sections of our American & British catalogues:

*DC Comics: From the vaults, we have a remarkable range of DC from the 1950s to the 1970s, including circa 1960 Action Comics in really nice grade, 1950s Batman, a substantial Silver Age Hawkman run in exceptional condition, long runs of pre-distribution Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Superboy and Superman, scarce early My Greatest Adventure & Tales Of The Unexpected, 1950s Wonder Woman and two issues of the original 1950s Phantom Stranger series, almost never seen in any condition. A great opportunity to add to your collection of DCs with dozens of issues that preceed UK distribution in 1959.

*Girl's Comics & Picture Libraries: A mesmerising selection of the popular mystery/thriller/sf weekly Spellbound, with 'Vengeance of the Golden Priestess', 'Sing A Song Of Terror', 'The Strange Ones', and the feline femme fatales of the future's fast-track, the Super-Cats! Ranging from #5 to the final issue #69, this showcases art from Jesus Redondo, Enrique Romero and scores of other accomplished talents. Buy 'em all, Hercula commands it -- and trust us, you don't wanna cross her!
