He had a special love for sci-fi and Disney, especially the work of Carl Barks. He was teaching English in an East L. A. high school when Leonard Brown approached him about opening a store for collectors of popular culture. He couldn't say yes fast enough, and in 1964 they opened Collectors Bookstore in Hollywood. They had some rough years in the beginning but the timing was right and eventually they were able to move into a large bank building and be successful. I always enjoyed going into the vault where the left side was for comics and the right side was for movie collectibles. One year when I was visiting, Leonard told me to look at the Batman section and I saw a dozen copies of the fist issue. Over the years, many Hollywood Stars visited the store, which eventually led to them being the first store to auction an Oscar. The thing I liked about Mal was that he genuinely enjoyed his collection. ..., Howard Lowery, 1968, 5, 22.5 X 22.5- BRAND NEW-" Emily Carr's life story is told in this highly original picture book by Nicolas Debon. Written and illustrated in comic strips, the book traces Carr's life through four of her famous paintings. The first part, named after the painting, Cedar House, represents Emily's first sketching trip to a remote village where she discovers the richness of West Coast native life and art. Autumn in France describes Emily at work in a Paris art studio and immersing herself in the "New Art" of Chagall, Matisse, Picasso, and others. In Silhouette, Carr's work is exhibited at the National Gallery and she has a pivotal meeting with artists of the Group of Seven. Finally, in Beloved of the Sky, Emily reaches her full potential as an artist. Nicolas Debon's illustrations perfectly capture Carr's determined, eccentric character and her times. The difficulties she encountered as a young woman finding a way to express herself as an artist are well documented as is her world., Groundwood Books, 2003, 6<
