BB-Gun

Love those Captain America splash pages, especially the first one. I like this Hangman page.

Detective Comics #17 Winner!! I guess that was an easy one for you. bb

Like your Eye covers. Did Frank Thomas do the Owl covers for Crackajack too?

Eye spotted this one on flickr and had to share it. Thanks Froggy!

But what book is the other drawing from? I new about the Perfect Crime 23 which is a favorite of mine.

Similar, from what comic? Did we do this already or is it Deja vu all over again?

I noticed my book club edition of Mastermind of Mars has some nice Frazetta illustrations. It is probably cheap and readily available for ERB and FF fans. Age and my scanner software have added a little Martian red color to the illo.

I liked this Fighting American story and it has an appropriate title for this thread.

Zorro was my Mom's favorite as well. I liked the Tyrone Power movie with Linda Darnell. Linda

I liked the Zorro series on TV. I enjoyed watching Lost in Space with Guy Williams too. Whatever happen to Angela Cartwright? I was waiting for her to call me but I guess since she was only 16, and a few years younger than me, she was too shy.

They solicited fans to write to their local newspapers to pick up the strip. More archery lessons and games were advertised in the comic. And extra premiums were advertised on the back. All SA 3 scans are from GA.UK I always wanted the secret cave ring and the Ghost Rider Mask.

Me too. He has a distinguishable and distinct style quite his own. Here's # 23, the issue for March 1952 - Wish I had a better copy (wouldn't have gotten this one ... but Metro doesn't scan . In fact, that's the last time I ordered from Metro right there) Meagher could draw a pretty good damsel in distress.

From GA.UK Some Guardineer violence. Pretty common ambush theme for westerns but they added a little trickery to save the hero.

I have a bunch of Tom Mix rings and things but I posted this again because I think it is by Meagher.

Not much to say about Frazetta but "Wow!".

And don't forget Bobby Benson. I purchased this cover with no book. Fortunately, a lot of the stories are in the GA.UK collection. Another pretty good cover by Ayers. This is pure nostalgia for me. I kept my Straight Arrow books and cards for a long times but recently upgraded everything.

I think the Red Hawk strip by Powell was also a pretty good back up in Straight Arrow. The SA stories were short with a moral. The indians weren't the bad guys in every story and the extra secret identity added more mystery to one of the few strips that treated our native Americans fairly. I liked the Durango Kid series because of the Frazetta White Indian stories. The later series was drawn by Guardineer which makes it interesting. Nice work and good artists. Meagher also drew the Tom Mix Purina Giveaway series which I also collect. I liked all of the ME westerns but particularly liked Straight Arrow and Ghost Rider. Ayers best work went into drawing GR but more people collect just the Frazetta covers.

I never finished my collection of cards but I have quite a few.

I believe that one was reprinted. Nice book new or old. bb

Should I get this copy graded? What grade do you think it will receive?

I like Meagher art. I don't have that issue but I have a 51 that I picked up recently.

I'll have to get one of those baseball covers. I have a couple of Jackie Robinsons but with art by Baker, the players look alive.

Straight Arrow is one of my favorite characters. It is one of the few series in the GCD that I have contributed data to. Did Gardner F. Fox write the strip? He wrote a lot of the stories in the comics. I have a lot of those comics and cards but I don't remember if I have ever heard the radio show. The Lone Ranger was still on the radio when I was young and occasionally they brought back the Shadow too. I think they were all recordings tho.

This is from 1954. I don't think I have shown this one before but somebody may have posted it. Some of the last scifi covers by Schomburg. He continued to work but the number of pulps was severly reduced in the fifties.
