Thanks for this Paw, Back in the mid-sixties when I first started working and had money, I ordered some back issues of titles not available in OZ from New York. Can't remember if that was from Bud Plant or Phil Seuling's operation.
What was he doing in Sparta Illinois ?
Setting up Seagate Distributers and beginning the Direct marketing of comic books which led to the comic book shop system we have today.
