What to do with a deceased relative's comic books

A quiet phone call first

Before any photos or numbers, we'd rather just have a chat. Tell us who collected, roughly when, and what you're hoping to do. We listen, we explain how this normally goes, and we go at your pace — not ours.

Photos at the kitchen table, not under pressure

Send a few rough photos when it suits you, and tell us if there's a book or two the family wants to keep. We'll come back with a clear, broken-down valuation — not a take-it-or-leave-it lump sum — so you understand exactly what's there.

We come to you, with respect

If the family decides to sell, we drive to the house ourselves. We pack the collection carefully, leave the room as we found it, and pay by bank transfer the same day. The books we keep go to other collectors who'll value them.

"After my mother died her flat was full of comics my late father had kept since the 60s. Fantasy Road sat with me for two hours, talked me through every box, let me keep three for my grandchildren, and paid a price the family was thrilled with."

— Margaret, Glasgow · Late father's 1960s collection

"We were dreading sorting Dad's loft. They were so kind on the phone, never rushed us, and when they came down they were respectful of the house and of him. The cheque was a bonus — the way they handled it was the real thing."

— James, Cardiff · Late father's collection

"My nan kept every comic my granddad ever bought. I didn't want them just thrown in a skip. Fantasy Road found homes for almost all of them with other collectors. That meant more to me than the money."

— Aisha, Leicester · Late grandfather's collection
