27/04/2005: "Star Collections update -- UK Human Torch, My Greatest Adventure etc, early Rupert Annuals, Beezer & Topper"

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 update, we have some very rare and special items in the following categories:

*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: A small, but very select assortment of titles, including issues #1 & #2 of the rare Miller Human Torch Atlas reprints, early issues (inc. #1) of the Australian My Greatest Adventure and a 1950s British Thun'da reprint with 60+ Bob Powell pages and not one, but two, Thun'da vs. the Amazons stories. Yumpin' Yiminy!

*Rupert: For all aficionados of Nutwood's favourite son, here's an exceptional selection of early annuals in mid-high grades inc. the rare 1942 and 1946 originals, plus a couple of out-of-print annual facsimiles in top grade and an original Doris Campbell colouring page from 1972.

*Humour Comics & Picture Libraries: Exceptional runs of Beezer and Topper from 1966-early 1970s. Extra-large laughs, chuckles and guffaws with these less than common over-sized DC Thompson tabloids, starring Ginger, Beryl the Peril, Colonel Blink, Mickey the Monkey, Danny & His Tranny and dozens more legendary comedy characters.

Full details as always of these additions in the appropriate sections of our online catalogue.
