British Comics Update: Alan Class Partial Printing Plate Sets: Daredevil and the Silver Surfer
*Alan Class Reprints: Long-time visitors to our site will remember that we’ve been selling the Printing Plates from Alan Class’s Private Archive for many years. Although they ran out in 2023 (apart from two high-end key issues shown in our listings), there has always been the possibility of a few more being located with the co-operation of Alan himself. Such has now happened with two issues of Suspense, starring Daredevil and the Silver Surfer, but please note that only two plates from each set have been located. Suspense #60 has no cover colour plates, but features a wonderful Daredevil splash page plate and a further inside back cover plate for a fantasy story. Suspense #108 has two of the cover colour plates, including the main plate with most of the image. Both sets come with copies of the comics from the Alan Class Personal Archive, and a signed certificate of authenticity signed by Alan Class himself. These are packaged in a special protective presentation case. Full details follow (please remember that these sets are not available for postage to addresses outside the UK).
