New DC Silver Age Collection! Jimmy Olsen #1-105!

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Marsha

All About Books and Comics just acquired a fantastic Silver Age DC Comics Collection featuring Jimmy Olsen #1 – #105. They have been priced and are out for display. The earlier books are in a glass display case near the Central side of the store, and the rest are up on the south wall, near the back parking lot side of the store.
