Artizen Oregon Launches Premium Collectible Comic Book Service, Bringing Golden & Silver Age Treasures to Collectors
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – Artizen Oregon LLC, a Seattle-based company dedicated to sourcing and delivering exceptional collectible items, today announced the launch of its specialized service catering to comic book enthusiasts. Located at 1917 1st Ave STE 400, Artizen Oregon is quickly establishing itself as a trusted resource for collectors seeking rare and high-grade comic books, specifically from the Golden and Silver Ages. “We’re really excited to bring something special to the comic book collecting world,” says a representative from Artizen Oregon. “It's not just about buying and selling comics; it's about connecting people with pieces of history, with art they love, and helping them build collections they'll be proud of.” What’s the Deal with Artizen Oregon? Artizen Oregon isn't your average comic book shop. While many dealers focus on modern keys or recent releases, Artizen Oregon is diving deep into the roots of the hobby, specializing in books published roughly from the late 1930s through the 1970s – the Golden and Silver Ages. They're focusing on quality over quantity, hand-picking books based on condition, rarity, and historical significance. “We understand that collectors aren’t just looking for any old comic book," explains the company rep. “They're after books in the best possible condition, books that tell a story, and books that represent a specific era of comic book history. We put a lot of effort into finding those gems." Digging Into the Golden & Silver Ages For those newer to collecting, the Golden Age (roughly 1938-1956) is where it all began. This era saw the birth of iconic characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Captain America. These early comics are prized for their historical significance and often feature incredibly vibrant, albeit sometimes crude, artwork. First appearances, key origin stories, and particularly well-preserved copies command serious money. The Silver Age (roughly 1956-1970) saw a resurgence of the superhero genre, often with a science fiction bent. This era brought us the Flash, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), the Justice League, and the Marvel Universe as we know it. Silver Age books, while generally more readily available than Golden Age titles, still hold significant value, especially higher-grade copies and key issues. What Artizen Oregon Offers Artizen Oregon's service isn't just about selling comics. They’re offering a complete collector experience, including: Hand-Picked Selection: Every comic book in their inventory is carefully vetted for condition and authenticity. They’re not just buying books wholesale; they're actively searching for quality pieces. Grading Expertise: Artizen Oregon understands the importance of professional grading by companies like CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) and PGX (Professional Grading eXperts). They can help collectors identify books suitable for grading and even assist with the submission process. Curated Collections: For collectors looking to build a specific collection (e.g., all Superman comics from the 1940s), Artizen Oregon offers a curated collection service, sourcing books based on individual preferences and budget. Appraisal Services: Not sure what your comics are worth? Artizen Oregon provides appraisal services to help collectors determine the value of their holdings.
