The “private owner comic collection,” which includes titles from 1975 to 2009, is up for bid at Able Auctions’ warehouse in Newton, at 13557 77th Ave.

A preview of all that ink and paper will be held there today (Friday), from noon to 6 p.m.

Lots of magazines and comic-related collectibles, “all with little to no duplication,” will be auctioned, according to a post on the company’s website. “This comic book auction is not to be missed!”
