About Us

Andrew French

Garry Crawley

Started reading and collecting comics when flicking through my older brother's pile of them at the tender age of six. It was at this time that I realised that scissors and paper shouldn't always go together.

Bought my first comic with my own money in 1975 (Defenders #24) and started collecting seriously at that point. Bronze and Silver Age Marvels became an addiction for me, with the odd DC thrown in for good measure. Man dressed up as a bat - sheesh!

Decades and thousands of comics later I decided to liberate some of those comics and let them out into the wild again.

After selling on Ebay since 2003 and seeing that venue change for the worse for sellers I thought about selling directly to fellow collectors. Hence the site you see before you now.

I still buy around 50 modern comics a month, while pursuing as many Golden Age comics as I can. And magazines. And slabs. And......

I started reading comics as a very young boy and have always been an avid Marvel Comics fan. It was when I was in my twenties that I started trying to buy back issue's of my favourite titles, at first the relatively cheap stuff that I'd missed but progressing into the Bronze and Silver Ages.

Over a long period of time I've learnt to grade comics and am now in a position where I can offer a solid trustworthy service to anyone wishing to buy comics from me. I have replaced a lot of my original collection with higher graded copies which had left me with many doubles that I needed to sell if I wanted to keep buying for my own collection. I've done a little selling on Ebay, I was a semi regular seller at the Collectors Market Place at the Royal National Hotel in London for two years and I have also done a great deal of selling privately over the internet to those I have met on different forums that I frequent.

I am still an enthusiastic collector of mainly Silver and Bronze Age comics and I still collect and read many of the new releases coming out today.
