The Henry Anderson Golden Age Comic Auction
Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers is proud to present The Henry Anderson Collection of Golden Age comics. Born in 1931 Henry grew up in the Edgewood neighborhood of Cranston, Rhode Island purchasing comics from the local drugstore on Broad Street. From 1938 to 1947 he collected a total of 163 comic books published by D.C. Comics, Dell, Fawcett, Fiction House, and Harvey amongst others. He was mostly drawn to military comic books having been nine years old during the outbreak of WWII in Europe. Of all the titles Henry collected, he followed Fiction House Jumbo Comics and Wings Comics the most. However, he did dabble with some incredible superhero titles too including D.C. Comics Batman, Detective Comics, Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman. As Henry grew older, the comics became a collectible of his past as he moved on to pursue stamp collecting with his father, a hobby he practiced for the entirety of his life. While Henry was actively acquiring stamps, his comics stayed in two metal boxes since 1947 until being consigned to Bruneau & Co. by his family this year.
