Epic Comic Collection Donated to U of M
March 5th, 2008
Here is great story about a man and his love for comic books. The article is written by the wife of John Borger, a man who has just donated his collection of more than 40,000 comic books to the University of Minnesota.

A delightful young woman took me to the lowest cavern, which is two stories high and the length of two football fields. This is where the books are kept at the optimum 62 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 50 percent relative humidity, in acid free boxes on shelves lit by lights on timers like the knob you turn in a hotel bathroom for a sunlamp. Collections appraised at more than $100,000 carry the donor’s name.
