☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Collecting with Cecil" offers a rare, gently humorous glimpse into the world of comic book collecting through the eyes of Steve, who dreams of the China-Burma-India Theatre in World War II. In a whimsical twist, a local general store uses a guest book to track soldiers, only to be outsmarted by their playful fake names. Written and illustrated by Milton Caniff, with lettering by Shel Dorf, this 1983 story blends wartime nostalgia with a quiet nod to the collector’s life — a 1.00 USD comic in the era of the early 1980s.
