Little Big Book # 1489, c.1939 |
||
|
The Flash Gordon books connect Golden Age (comic/Radio characters) as they were revitalized in the "silver" or baby boomer years. One is a "big Little Book" from the 1930's, and the Charlton comic is from 1969. |
It also illustrates "Type collecting:" rather than acquire every item of a character, one may collect a sample, something from Golden age, silver, bronze age, etc.
A "series" or completist collector wants to acquire everything published (during a certain period) about their hero. Example: 'A complete run of X-men from #1 to #300!' Many collectors look for books that coincide with their birthday
or birthyear! Often a gift book is sought that shows a loved
one's birthdate. |
Example: "13" is Ed's lucky number...the issue (#13) publication date was my 13th birthday, 4/13/69! Flash Gordon # 13, April 1969 It also marked the end of 12 cent cover prices--the end of the "Silver Age." |
