THE DON ROSA COLLECTION
Accumulated by world renowned and Eisner award winning comic book artist, writer, and historian, KENO DON ROSA, these complete runs contain every comic book and comic magazine issued from every publisher from 1966 to the late 1980's. Rosa began collecting in earnest in 1962, and these books were carefully purchased individually off the stands as they appeared over the years.
This one-owner collection is unique in that most of these issues may have been read only once and then carefully tucked away in optimum storage conditions in archival boxes in a climate controlled "vault". In fact, the books were not placed in polybags where they would have been subject to oil transfer and staining after only a couple of years. This has accounted for the brilliant sheen, deep ink reflectivity, sharp corners and pristine look of virtually the entire group of comic books.
These comics represent only a small portion of the massive collection which includes full runs of most titles from every comics publisher dating back to 1945. Since the 1960's Don Rosa has been recognized as one of the first comics history scholars of fandom. He has written and illustrated Question & Answer columns for the major fanzines of the 70's including such notable publications as ROCKET'S BLAST COMICCOLLECTOR, CBG(TBG)COMICS JOURNAL, and AMAZING HEROES. During the 1980's this international award winning comics writer-artist has gained fame as one of the world's most famous and recognized cartoonists due to his work on the still best-selling European comics involving the Ducks of the legendary Carl Barks.
