It's good to know that even back then there were collectors of vintage publications. As you're no doubt aware, 'Penny Dreadfuls' was the term given to the blood-curdling Victorian story papers that preceded the comics. I doubt that many people collect them today, but I remember seeing some at an exhibition in the 1980s.
Sadly, Mr.Ono passed away in 1941, a few years after this was filmed and his collection was bequeathed to the British Library.
