Sullivan would return to the "scalping" motif decades later, after he left DC and launched his own publishing outfit, Magazine Enterprises, which specialized in Western comics such as Cowboys 'N' Injuns, Great Western, Red Hawk, Straight Arrow, White Indian, and the company's top title, the original Ghost Rider.****************************************
The DC UNIVERSE COLLECTION comprises over 40,000 comic books, encompassing every single DC comic published for retail sale from 1934 to 2014. The collection was amassed by British music producer Ian Levine over the course of several decades, and it's been hailed as the single greatest collecting accomplishment in comic book history. This collection served as the basis for former DC Comics president Paul Levitz's monumental book 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, published by Taschen in 2017. PBA is proud to present this epic collection in a series of themed sales, including The DC UNIVERSE COLLECTION Part 3: The GOLDEN AGE, coming this summer.
