*Alan Class Reprints: For many years now, we’ve been scouring the personal archives of legendary publisher Alan Class and with his full co-operation, releasing for sale sets of the original printing plates that were used to print the covers of his comics from 1959-1989. We’re approaching the very end of these sets now, and this is the penultimate release. So, this final phase represents your last opportunity to add one or more of these unique pieces to your collection. Each set comprises the lead printing plates used in the original comic’s colour printing, a copy of the comic printed with these plates and a signed certificate of authenticity signed by Alan Class himself. These are packaged in a special protective presentation case. Several sets (as noted) have additional historical artefacts such as colour proofs, interior page plates, printers’ photostats etc. (Please be aware that these weigh a lot and postage will be expensive. Also note that due to the onerous paperwork required for customs declarations following Brexit, we can no longer post these Plate Sets outside the UK.) Two new sets this week as follows: BOTH SOLD
SINISTER TALES #101 £100 Comic VG; Reprints Amazing Spider-Man #68 & #69 (inc cover), Atlas war. Extra: Colour cover proof.
SUSPENSE #3 £80 Comic VG+; Reprints Atlas, inc I Krigstein, I Torres. (NB 2 of the 4 plates are very small) A very early Alan Class comic.
