Someone or something wrote in the earlier press release [1]:

For the youngest of the three brothers, this Christmas discovery is more than “just a comic book.”
“This isn’t simply a story about old paper and ink,” he says. “This was never just about a collectible. This is a testament to memory, family and the unexpected ways the past finds its way back to us.”
Comics, the youngest brother says, “became a treasured refuge” for his mother and uncle in their cramped childhood apartment where luxuries were few.
“But they had each other and a shared love for comic books,” he says.
As adults, his mother and uncle determined to pass along their treasured comics to her sons, as the uncle was a lifelong bachelor with no children of his own.
“Until then, she carefully tucked the box away, deep into the recess of the attic, hidden but safe,” he says. “But as the years unfolded, life brought about a series of losses and changes. The demands of everyday survival took center stage, and the box of comics, once set aside with care and intention, was forgotten. Until last Christmas.”
