BB-Gun

The Sniffles cartoon is really classy but what happened to Mary Jane? Frankenstein's cat is also a terrific cartoon. When did Mighty Mouse change from blue and red to red and yellow? And that first cartoon with Frankenstein hitting the fan was fun. bb And Betty Boop with her friends was good but the monster looked more like King Kong than Frankenwhatzit.

Winter has hit everyone pretty hard this year, even Alaska. So think summer and spring. Things are getting better all the time. I liked this last one cause the picture of the bear eating Donald must have made someone hungry. They used the front of the comic for their shopping list. Nice pages in all of these. bb

Is there a Frankenstein WB cartoon?

Pretty nice splash for CC13 and some nifty art on the inside. Pretty good WB cartoons too.

Scrooge, I hope you have this one to go with your FC 408 Golden Helmut. It will be a lot cheaper if you still need it. bb

I was sorting through the piles of comics that need to be scanned and I found these pulps. They probably fit in here although not as rare as those very nice Shadow pulps. First two by Schomburg of course. I like the comics in some of the pulps. I thought this comic splash was Wood but it probably was Ken. bb

You're welcome. That is quite a start! What else you got? Your post looks great but I would advise going back to the CGC Forum and selecting the Market for selling section instead of going through the Golden Age first. Create a thread of your own. You can see a place at the top of the page for new links. I think the audience is bigger there. But it is always good to put a link in the Golden age section too because of the narrow focus of those guys. An early action should sell. bb Edit: Never mind, you got it without my help.

Post in the marketplace forum. Use a host for your photos like photobucket or Flickr. Run your mouse over the icons at the top of the post and you will see a place to enter an image. bb

BZ, When was that fanzine published? I have a few issues of Odd which was published around 1964 and was pretty good. Grass Green and Roy Thomas used to do a lot of parodies too. bb

They also had this St. John painting on the link you recomended, which was pretty nice. bb

BZ, That was a nice perspective on Hugh's life. I found it a lot more interesting then that TV show with the cute girls (The Girls Next Door) and mind numbing conversation. OK, I probably won't get an invitation to stop over and watch the Flash Gordon serials with his buddies but the show does nothing for me. I noticed that they mention Robert Culp in that group and I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson requesting Big Little Books forty years ago. I don't know if he continued to collect them but it would be good to know how many Hollywood (and Broadway) actors are collectors. bb

Apparently the painting is for the 2nd issue of Dan Turner April 1942. http://www.philsp.com/mags/dan_turner.html

The Crackerjack cover is by Frank Thomas. He was really good. I only have two early issues but I wish I had a whole box of Crackerjacks. bb

I just noticed this cartoon in the Warner bros list. Do you have a link? bb Snafuperman (Freleng/Mar/3:4s) - 1944

More comics from the "C" Box. I have another batch of Captain Marvel and Jr. but this should be enough to show. I am anxious to get to those Detective Comics (nothing before 50 though).

Nice Link BZ. It also has some nice Frazetta art and this really nice Dan Turner scene. Do you have that pulp? Did you already show this? bb

Nice Link BZ. It also has some nice Frazetta art and this really nice Disney Christmas scene. bb

2 and my number 3 have been schmoozing since I introduced the two earlier today. I have wanted and issue 3 for a long time but now I think I want an issue 2. Oh me, too bad they don't grow on trees. Very nice books Lauren. Do you know Jon Bevans or Jake, who used to own a store in Baltimore? bb

I remembered Voight's style when I saw the Atomic Man story but I couldn't think of the name. I didn't check his biography but I suspect he stopped drawing comics before the end of the golden age (oops he died in 1947). His early work on Betty is impressive and he dates way back to the platinum age (are there any platinum age books?). Nice find BZ. bb PS I was amazed with the origin story and thought it looked pretty whimsical. Jack was right about the similarity with the Flash but there was no super speed associated with this hero. There were three nice covers attributed to Kiefer. There was a character at Quality I think that had a touch that caused havoc. Was that part of the Human Bomb MO or his side-kick?

Here are more examples of art by Charles Voight. Boom Boom from Prize 59 and Jeep and Peep from Jeep 1.

I think I have 4 and 5 from that series -- I'll have to go get scans of the rest! Great page! Do you know who drew it? (Did you mention Palais in a previous post, or was that for one of the others?) Now I'm curious what kind of powers Atomic Man got from all that abuse. Thanks, Jack I think the Atomic Man strip is by Charles Voight who did Jeep and Peep and also Boom Boom for Prize. It isn't listed in the GCD but it is in the Who's Who. The art matches up too. I think BZ used Jeep for a contest last year and we saw some of his work on this thread. bb

Jack, That first scan was from Science 1 which has the atomic bomb story. I always thought it was from Nedor but Overstreet says Ace (officially it is Humor). Things got worse for our chemist (with no eye protection or lab coat) in the Headline story after he drank the Deuterium Oxide laced with U235. That was a nasty looking unprotected power supply behind him. The White Magic story was also from Science 1 and the Atomic Man origin was from Headline 16. Thanks to GA.uk

Ad for Jumbo Comics #1 from Bulls-Eye Detective. Nifty ad BZ. It doesn't mention that Jumbos made good coloring books which I think a lot of children did. bb

Jack, Yesterday I noticed good science lab stories in Science and Headline 16. The first story is by Palais and I loved the way he drew the physics lab. The second story was about a microbiology lab. The last story is about work in a chemistry lab. I think he needs to call OSHA. bb

How'd those wheels work out? The wheels could be designed better. But the brakes work well. If anyone wants to make a model, I would recommend printing two sets of parts. The artists tend to think in 2D instead of 3D. bb
