Collection Scope and Content Summary
The collection consists of a selection of nearly 6000 issues from approximately 750 titles arranged into three basic elements:
DC Comics, Marvel Comics, and various other publishers. Publication dates are principally from the mid-1960's to the early
1990's. The first part covers DC titles (268 titles), the second part covers Marvel titles (224 titles), and the third part
covers miscellaneous titles (280 titles, under 72 publishers). Parts one and two (DC and Marvel boxes) of the list are marked
with box numbers. The contents of boxes listed in these parts matches the sequence of titles on the lists. The third part
(miscellaneous publishers) is presented in two organizations. The first list is not marked with box numbers because it is
organized alphabetically by publisher, and issues in boxes are organized alphabetically by title, which appears to the right
of the publisher name on the box list. The second list is organized by title, and therefore, not by box number.
