Nice Snag Todd!

I especially like Super comics with Gasoline Alley stories. I think Bill likes the Detective Tracy covers. What strip did you like?

Hey I like those too. I found two copies of 178 but still no #9. :golfclap:Way to go Bill.

But I like this painting a lot... Its one of Feldstein's best. Repost from another thread.

I don't have one but here is a scan. Bookend covers? I think the artists were spending too much time in the sewers.

I like that issue but I always wanted a rollover tank to go with it.

I don't have one but here is a scan. The triple x story centerfold and 1st page look like this I think. Fiche scans.

Tom Mix was a great part of that era and it's a shame he gets so little attention in the hobby. Quite the life story and quite the disasterous Hollywood death. I collect Tom Mix comics ...me too and rings. I think that cover is by Saunders.

I like those Zips but I also like Real Fact covers, 2 fictional heroes and one real life.

They make a nice pair.

It is an interesting title. Joe Kubert did some of the stories and I think Bob Fujitani did that cover. The interior double page splash was usually pretty good.

Great book Bill. It took me 30 years to find one I could afford. Fantastic set Bruce Thanks Bill. My brother never forgave me for slicing up the Shark Cover on FC 291 but he would have enjoyed reading those other Barks' stories since he was a big fan of the Duck.

I have been a fan of Supersnipe since I read All in Color for a Dime. I added a few new ones to my old favorites. I still have another half dozen but missing the two most popular issues. There are two copies of the Gerber no-show Feb 1944 issue in that pile and all the stories are fun.

That cover sure reminds me of Mardi Gras. Me too. Gosh knows I've had some marvelous times over the years at Mardi Gras in New Orleans New Orleans is a Party Town. I had a friend who earned her beads the Mardi Gras way. She is the mother of at least two beautiful children now and probably drives a soccer-mom van. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkqKSUrnkHg

Faulty scan Jimbo! But if that is a Cap #6 we all want to see it! It should have looked like the above. I added an edited scan.

Based on the arrival date, that must be a Halloween cover. Baily could have made some really creepy Spectre covers if he hadn't been pushed out of More Fun by Dover and Clover. While looking for Weird Mysteries covers, I found this animation by Flee. In case you missed it.

I have had a chance to buy one of the Mask covers and passed on it but I 've bid on Science covers several times. I think many collectors like those strange Scifi covers. Why don't you sell your short run if you can't complete it?

Most of my Uncle Scrooge comics are original owner but only a few ducks.

I have a few which range from 22 to 95 but All American 22 is missing most of the interior.

I picked up the sheet music for Davy's song and watched the show from the very first chapter. We never missed Walt's TV show back in the fifties and the Wonderful World of Color in the sixties.

All American had two or three nifty covers like that one. (I slipped one in for comparison.)

I think all of these were purchased by me at the local drug store in the sixties. Good reading back then but not as cool as reading Hermann Hesse.

That would explain it to some degree. I stopped by the excellent dialBforblog archives and read up on the difference between "ghosts" hired by DC and those hired by Kane directly. And I can see how Kane would have wanted those he employed more discreetly to mimic his own crude style ( as much as he bothered to draw at all). I will say however that the earlier "Kane" work attributed to Lew Sayre seems to have a fluidity that the Moldoff stuff lacks. In the Bat books, Moldoff's characters often look stiff and clumsy in action poses. The Paris and Sprang stuff from the 50s - which I gather was commissioned directly by DC, manages to have a look that compliments Kane's "house style" and surpasses it as well. Since Kane would have had no problem sticking his name on Frank Frazetta's work had he been hired to do a Batman strip, is it possible that Moldoff's inferior work was actually the result of Kane actually inking it, and not so much an effort to "hack it down"? Before Robinson and others took over Batman, strips signed by Bob Kane looked like work signed by Bob Wood. It is possible they both used the same ghosts. Bernie Klein might have drawn some of the work. He worked for Lev Gleason, MLJ and DC at one time and signed as Bob King. I think he stopped working in 1944. Just wondering...
