That's a great cover. I like those Planet covers.

here's a similar one I took a few years ago Love those Batman comics too. Single digit issues are mostly incomplete and #1 is a copy. I'll try the other box on Saturday and see how many more I can post. My books are kind of ragged by comparison to those CGC books but I can still read them.

I like one of these covers a lot. Which one?

I have read the story but only in Black and White. Great book Bill.

I kind of like the art in the earlier rendition of the story. I think it was a reprint from the daily Mickey newspaper stories.

That's another great book. I didn't realize they did those give aways then. Fun and Fancy Free is an underappreciated Disney movie. I didn't know FC 157 was a giveaway. It has a 10 cent price tag on it and it matches my paint book. The story hour series book was also a giveaway in softcover. Mickey's Robin Hood story also started with a few weeds (from WDCS 11). It was later redrawn for the Silly Symphony giant #6

What a pile! Thanks, here are a few more that I posted before too.

Someone mentioned a lot of Speed copies are available. I could use a few upgrades. I have only found high grade Harvey horror.

The best Batman covers in a bunch.

Super nice Christmas collection and display. Thanks for posting.

Well done. My son has turned me into a crazed Bat fan. I can't blame my son for making me a fan. I was a fan of Batman, Superman and Flash before I turned 10. My brother was a Disney fan.

That's a nice cover. I don't think I have ever seen a copy. What is the story on the inside?

I think I have one of those in the middle but your copy looks like it is in better shape. I think most of those comics are complete except for a few which includes Batman 11 and Batman 37.

I like the Green Lantern and Harlequin covers. They got serious after a while.

That was the only cover I had seen until 10-15 years ago. Back in the sixties, when I checked old newspaper references for articles on comics, the Funnyman comic story was one of several. Siegel and Shuster changing loyalties was news at the time. However, the comic wasn't a success. I think I have a copy of issue 2. Gerber has photos of all 6 issues. His bike must have been a modified Indian (since the suicide shifter was on the right). Comics plus scan of Funnyman 5

I enjoy those Mighty Mouse covers.

I noticed there was also a lecture on the characters of Leigh Brackett at the Pop Culture Association Meeting in DC. And lots of comic stuff. This one should keep a few of us interested since there are some Bringing up Father fans out there. A paper by Christopher Dowd, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English From the Gutters of Hogan’s Alley to the Lace Curtains of Jiggs and Maggie: Irish-American Comic Strips The dramatic rise in popularity of comic strips in late 19th and early 20th century America coincides with the arrival and assimilation of Irish immigrants fleeing poverty, starvation, and oppression in their homeland. The Irish became the first ethnic group to immigrate to America en masse, and the questions and anxieties that Americans had regarding incorporating this ethnic minority population into the national body played out in the earliest American comic strips. This paper traces the development of Irish-American characterization in comic strips like Hogan’s Alley, Mutt & Jeff, Bringing Up Father, Tracy, and Little Orphan Annie. Attention is given both to the work of Irish-American cartoonists like George McManus who constructed Irish characters from a perspective inside the ethnic group to non-Irish cartoonists like Harold Gray who worked from outside. While many comic strips reveal a familiarity with old Irish stereotypes, some of the most notable comics of the era demonstrate a dynamic reformulation of Irish identity in the popular imagination. Chris Dowd earned his Ph.D. in English from the University of Connecticut and is an Assistant Professor at the University of New Haven. His book The Construction of Irish Identity in American Literature was published in 2011 by Routledge. McManus as Jiggs

Lulu and Tubby were fun to read.

This one would have brought a smile to my face. Nice catch!

I have a weakness for Kid Gang books and Lulu seems to fit the bill. She is the Red Skull to Tubby's Young Allies. OK, it is kind of a stretch but the stories are well written.

I have wanted one of those too. But it is difficult to find it in good shape at a decent price.

Is it time to put up the wanted posters again?

:golfclap:Cool book Scrooge.

I like those Bugs Bunny Four Color comics. Dangerous Venture and Haunted Mountain are favorites. I also have Great Adventure but I am missing the first two issues (Public Nuisance and Lost Treasure).

John Ryan was a regular subscriber to CAPA-alpha. World of Ryandom was a regular feature and I guess he occasionally contributed a cover.
