Owner's Description

ACTION COMICS #579 CGC 9.8-THE GOLDEN STATE COLLECTION

MAY 1986

HOMAGE TO ASTERIX AND OBELIX

THE GOLDEN STATE COLLECTION

The Golden State collection was amassed by a meticulous collector residing in the San Francisco area who carefully filed away his newsstand copies each month. The core of the collection ranged from the early 60s to present, but also included a very impressive run of Golden Age as well.

The owner finally decided to part with the Golden and Silver Age portions of his collection in the early 90s, and much of it entered the market through a national dealer. Unfortunately much of the Silver Age was never documented as the Golden State collection, although one can still find random CGC graded issues floating about. The average grade of this period was 9.4 and 9.6, truly amazing books.

Cover art by Keith Giffen and Karl Kesel. Prisoners of Time! (1986 A.D. to CCLIII A.D.) starring Superman, script by Jean-Marc Lofficier (as R. J. M. Lofficier) andRandy Lofficier [as R. J. M. Lofficier), pencils by Keith Giffen, inks by Bob Oksner; an evil druid sends Superman and Jimmy Olsen back in time to Gaul (France) in the year 253 AD.
