| Someone or something wrote in the earlier press release [1]: > For the youngest of the three brothers, this Christmas discovery is more than “just a comic book.” > “This isn’t simply a story about old paper and ink,” he says. “This was never just about a collectible. This is a testament to memory, family and the unexpected ways the past finds its way back to us.” > Comics, the youngest brother says, “became a treasured refuge” for his mother and uncle in their cramped childhood apartment where luxuries were few. > “But they had each other and a shared love for comic books,” he says. > As adults, his mother and uncle determined to pass along their treasured comics to her sons, as the uncle was a lifelong bachelor with no children of his own. > “Until then, she carefully tucked the box away, deep into the recess of the attic, hidden but safe,” he says. “But as the years unfolded, life brought about a series of losses and changes. The demands of everyday survival took center stage, and the box of comics, once set aside with care and intention, was forgotten. Until last Christmas.” [1] https://www.ha.com/heritage-auctions-press-releases-and-news... |
