“Can you remember Comics of Dandy? Whizzer? Bunty”, asked Diony – the owner of this great comic collection. One of his prize collections to watch out this weekend is “The 1968 rare Donald Duck comic” It’s an extreme rare WALT DISNEY comic that states Brunei on the front cover. Comics back then were priced at 3 pence or so.
His comic book collection would definitely bring nostalgia to the buyers. “You can see how excited the grownups are (with their eyes glittering) and when they tell their children that that’s the comic they read when they’re little”, he further lamented.
Other comics to set your eyes on are the newspaper back quality oldies from the 70s. They are so fragile that with the flip of their pages, it would tear. You can see the aging of the papers beautifully especially along the staples. Only a part of his collection has been flown in from Singapore. Most of them are first rare issues and are kept in safe deposit boxes.
Even the advertisements in these comics are fun to browse through. They bring back memories. Just like the old advertisements of sea monkeys, toy soldiers and mail order. The price shown in these advertisements definitely tells you how cheap things used to be.
On sale are also first issues of Superman, Justice League, Doom, The Thing, X-Men, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Superboy, Star Trek, Wolverine and many more.
Have you heard of The old comics of Smokey Bear? Or have you seen a publisher without a logo? For example, Hanna – Barbera’s comics without a logo. It’s very rare plus the font type is different from now.
This private sale is open to the public and is free for all to visit. This mini collection sale is to promote and enliven the culture of safe keeping on collectibles that are valuables.
It will be held at House No.8, Simpang 9, Jalan Mata Mata from 10th to 12th July 2015. Opening hours are from 9.30am to 5.00pm. For further details please contact the collector at 8772366.
