Free comic book collection

[james_davis_nicoll]

There is an interested party. Will update if this changes.

Jasmine's closets are filled with the late MV's comic collection. She's been trying to find home for the 30 cartons of comics for the last decade. If anyone would like them, they are free for the picking up (in bulk, not piece meal. Sorry.).

If she cannot find a taker in the next week, they are going out to recycling.

Please contact me here or at jdnicoll at panix dot com for more details.

Clarification: you can take individual boxes if you like. You just cannot take individual issues.

No takers on Freecycle and/or Craigslist? Whereabouts is she? I hate to see books get tossed, I'll crosspost if I have a general location.

[james_davis_nicoll]

She is in Kitchener.

The problem has been that lots of people like the idea of the collection existing but nobody wants to house it.

[conuly]

Ah, I can see that. But still, hope springs eternal - or at least for the next week.

Any chance that a local library might be willing to take the boxes? If they're kid or teen appropriate, they might want to hand them out piecemeal or just put them out for kids to read in the library.

If you were in Michigan, I'd suggest Michigan State University which has an official comics collection, but that'd be a poor option, given the givens.

I was thinking schools if they're kid appropriate. Or random eBay lots was another idea, but I think that was the sort of thing to suggest years ago.

Children's hospital?

What kind of comics are they?

[james_davis_nicoll]

Mostly superhero. I don't know if they are all kid appropriate. Someone would have to sort them.

I have some Canadian friends; I've shared your FB post in hopes that someone knows someone who knows someone.

Thank you.

Hello. Diane Kurlicz forwarded this to me on Facebook. I am in Toronto. I could certainly take a drive out to Kitchener to take a look. If I was interested, I would then have to rent a truck a few days later to retrieve the comics. You can contact me at larry@dlarryhancock.ca or by phone/text at 416-737-7276.

I am very sorry. Someone expressed interest a few hours ago.
