Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

We are Lisa and Ted Van Liew, owners of Superworld Comics, Inc., purveyors of vintage comic books, and original comic book art. Superworld is in its 34th year buying and selling comics from the 1930s to the 1970s. Our customers are nostalgia seekers who remember buying from the newsstands when they were kids, collectors who love comics and filling in their runs, and also investors looking to add some diversity and some fun to their portfolios. Prices of Silver Age (1955-1970) and Golden Age (1938-1955) comics have risen consistently since the 1970s.

Comic book collecting became more organized and serious in the late 1960s. In 1970 the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, published by Gemstone Publishing was launched and has been published annually ever since, creating consistency and professionalism in the industry.

We sell on our website, on eBay, and at comic book conventions around the country, including 22 years at the well-known Comic-Con International, in San Diego, CA. Since the onslaught of Covid-19, we have not been able to attend conventions, which has challenged our ability to sell and to buy.
