THIS BOOK IS FROM THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS COLLECTION.

Forty years ago, from late 1965 to early 1968, a young collector would purchase multiple copies of each issue of such titles as Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Tales of Suspense and X-Men. One copy would be read, and the others would be meticulously placed away for safe-keeping. Ultimately approximately 1,000 books were amassed, of which nearly 400 have been acquired by EsquireComics.com and Southern California Comics (about half of those have been CGC certified and the remaining books were retained by the owner's son for sale on eBay). The majority of the books fall within the 9.2 - 9.6 range, and often have pure white pages.

Although this collection is designated a "pedigree" on my site, it is just a "collection". In order to key the collection my website only recognizes "pedigree" designations. None of the books are marked or come with a certificate of authenticity, nor has the history of the collection impacted the prices.

The sale of these books is being handled by Southern California Comics which mantains physical possession of the Colllection. If you are interested in purchasing this book or have a question, please contact:

A solid copy of a key early SA Marvel book. And at an affordable price.

This is part of the "Western Missouri Collection" which began in a small Missouri town, 90 miles southeast of Kansas City where two young brothers began collecting comic books in 1958. Buying from the Rexall Drug Store, one boy bought Marvels, the other boy bought DCs, and for the next 30 years they bought and bought, and traded back and forth from each other.

This amazing collection amassed approximately 3,000 books, 90% bought off the rack by their original owners. The majority of this very affordable collection averages in the Fine range, with a range from Good to Very Fine +.

Only a few books from this collection will be listed on this site. Others can be viewed in my ebay store (username: EsquireComics). Please feel to inquire with any want lists.
