What JF Bastok buys in Wavre
Vintage comics, first editions, hardback albums, signed comics, deluxe editions, bookplates and original drawings. Vintage comics are bought according to condition, signed comics according to the author.
What determines the value
With a comic, everything counts: the title, the year and edition, the original endpapers, the state of the spine and corners, and of course the inscription. A Belgian first edition from the 1940s to 1960s in good condition can be worth far more than a recent reprint of the same album.
