"Why is it so darn cold in New York City?" asked ComicConnect.com’s Vincent Zurzolo, Chief Operating Officer, upon his return this week from a much needed sun-filled vacation. While Vincent rested, his staff braved the deep freeze, blowtorched the frost off the front door, and worked day and night scanning and listing comics from the esteemed Joe Desris multiple cover and rarities collection.
"Nearly 1000 double covers and oddities can be previewed on ComicConnect.com, "said Rob Reynolds, Director of Consignments. "This auction, there truly is a comic for every collector. From the earliest known example, Famous Funnies #40 CGC 9.2 NM- on through to Frank Miller’s All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #10 CGC 9.9, something can be found from every comic age or genre and for any budget," Reynolds continued.
