Picture this: a quiet, rainy drive to South Wales. Little did we know, nestled among the rolling hills and sheep (so many sheep), lay a collector’s paradise—over 120 shortboxes of pure comic book glory. When we say this haul was massive, we mean it. It wasn’t just a collection; it was a full-blown archive of Bronze and Modern Age brilliance, featuring almost every key issue since 1999. And now, we’re here to tell you all about it—and maybe convince you to part with your own treasure trove.
The Collection That Made Us Gasp
If comic books were currency, this collection would’ve been a dragon’s hoard. Think keys like Ultimate Fallout #4 (Miles Morales’ first appearance), New Avengers #7 (the debut of the Illuminati), and Batman #608 (Hush Part 1). It was a modern collector’s dream, spanning publishers, genres, and enough variants to make your head spin.
But this wasn’t just about big names—it was about volume. Over 120 shortboxes filled to the brim with meticulously stored issues. We’re talking boards, bags, and not a spine-crease in sight. If your comic collection needs a new home, trust us—we know how to give it the royal treatment.
Why South Wales?
Great question! South Wales isn’t just a scenic delight; it’s apparently a hub for comic book enthusiasts. This collector had been curating for decades, piecing together runs of Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, and more. They’d built a collection worthy of a museum—or better yet, our shelves.
Got a collection gathering dust? Wondering, “Should I sell my comics?” The answer is yes, and we’re the folks you want to call.
Key Issues That Knocked Our Socks Off
This collection wasn’t shy about flexing its muscles. Let’s dive into the gems that had us doing happy dances in the van (yes, the van is part of the operation):
1. Ultimate Fallout #4 (2011)
The first appearance of Miles Morales—arguably one of the biggest modern Marvel characters. With the Spider-Verse movies putting him front and center, this issue is hotter than Aunt May’s wheatcakes.
2. The Walking Dead #1 (2003)
Zombie apocalypse, anyone? This Bronze-to-Modern transition masterpiece is the cornerstone of Robert Kirkman’s legendary series.
3. New Avengers #7 (2005)
Before the MCU made the Illuminati famous, this comic introduced the secret cabal of Marvel’s biggest brains.
4. Batman #608 (2002)
The start of the Hush storyline. Jim Lee’s art? Chef’s kiss.
5. Invincible #1 (2003)
With Amazon’s adaptation making waves, this first appearance of Mark Grayson and Omni-Man is a must-have for collectors.
