Our Yorkshire Comic Book Haul
A modern age wonder!
Read this pickup tale →From the collecting community
Every collection has a story.
Discover the finds, forgotten boxes and memorable issues behind our Pickup Tales. These articles remain in their original form, gathered here to make the complete collection easier to explore.
The comics are only half the tale
Collections can begin with a single newsstand issue, grow across decades, disappear into lofts and cupboards, then surface for a new reader. Pickup Tales records those moments through the voices and experiences originally published on the Fantasy Road blog.
Looking after a collection of your own? Our UK comic-selling guide explains how to organise it, judge condition and prepare useful photographs before requesting a valuation.
