Metropolis has announced the acquisition of an amazing collection of Dell
file copies.“Every once in awhile I receive a call about a collection for
sale and I know I need to rush right out the door to buy it,” states Metropolis
CEO, Stephen Fishler. When I was contacted by the daughter of a former employee
of Dell Publishing who lived in Poughkeepsie, New York, I knew it was one of
those calls!”
The father worked at Dell from 1946-1980 and passed away approximately 23
years ago. The books were kept by his wife and daughter and remain in a very
well preserved state with nice pages and glossy covers,” Fishler continues. The
collection of Poughkeepsie Dell File copies consists of over 1600 comics from
the 1940s to the early 50s. Titles include Donald Duck, Little Lulu, Lone
Ranger, Gene Autry, Mickey Mouse, Dale Evans, Andy Panda, Uncle Scrooge, Rootie
Kazootie, Zorro, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, The Brownies, Annie Oakley and
many others. Highlights include early Lulus, early Four Color, March of
Comics
#41, Race to the South Seas, and a gorgeous copy of Four Color
#62 “Donald Duck in Frozen Gold.”
The collection is currently being processed and will be ready for sale
shortly. Please email any inquiries and want lists to orders@metropoliscomics.com.
