BB-Gun

I also like the first couple of issues. The first being the pulp cover and the second this big green eyed thing.

My copy is in worse condition but I still purchased it and put it in the Harvey collection box. I spent hours fixing the cover in photoshop.

I guess I always liked the superhero mouse. I remember reading the 3D comic when I was a kid and watching the cartoon show on TV. I read a few of the others but missed most of them. My brother started the duck collection and only liked the Barks' stories. I purchased the first two 3D comics at the flea market 15-20 years ago and picked up the 3d on ebay several years ago. Fun to collect, I believe the Oil Can Harry cartoons tended to be more musical.

I have two copies of that comic and like it a lot but the cover isn't by Schomburg. I think it is by Avison. This argument comes back every year or two and eventually people give in. It doesn't have the same appearance as Schomburg's other covers for Harvey.

Norman Saunders did many of those early Tom MIx covers and many more covers for pulps. I have a book that his son published and found it quite interesting.

+1 (thumbs u That Quinlan Blue Beetle splash is insane. What issue is that from? That would be Blue Beetle 24. Cover is attributed to Ray Willner but I could easily believe that Anderson or Quinlan did it.

Issue 25 is the Dec 1945 issue. If it came out 2 months earlier then it would be October. Issue 26 has a 12/10 arrival date on the front and my issue says read 12/13 so I think you are off by a month or two. Nuclear attacks started August 6, 1945 and 4 months would be ample time to draw and publish a new cover with an atomic bomb theme.

These stories were still murder mysteries. Later issues were more like Crime Does Not Pay. We still have Yankee Long Ago and Robin Hood in issue 26.

I like Blue Beetle 1 because of the different artists that drew the strip. Each changed the costume and made it interesting. I have a coverless copy of issue 3 and I think I am missing the best part of that issue, the cover. Later Holyoke copies with Quinlan art are especially well done and just as good as the Kamen stories at the end of the run.

Happy to have a few Blue Beetle Fox issues in the box. They are more or less complete, I think. Thanks to Sam who gave me the Blue Beetle 8 more or less.

Previous one is a fiche scan from SS 8 and this one is from SS 10.

I mentioned that I had a copy for 30 years but sold it and purchased this Billy Cloke cover. The other two copies are facsimiles with Boy 3 and 5 interiors I think.

Those seem very collectable to me. Can you post some of the pictures but not mention that they are for sale. Sales go in another thread.

I see it and it is amazing but can we get $179,000,000 for it.

I picked up a few more Mighty Mouse comics and a new cover a while back and mighty happy with them all.

Those early KIng pages are well worth collecting. I also like the Gasoline Alley collected comics and reprints in Super.

and what do you think about the story?

One of my better MLJ copies. They are mostly low grade but happy to find any that I can afford.

Similar but a little more messy...

Now that's a pair that I like.

These two guys may have pre-dated your collection but Minute Man is still easy to get on the market. Early Detective comics with the Crimson Avenger are difficult to find unless you have deep pockets. Got any Marty?

works for me...

Very sweet! I love the cover to issue 16. I got mine nearly two decades ago. It's one of the few books I kept when I sold my collection 15 years ago. It's a Gerber 8 if I remember it correctly. I have 15 and 17 but never had 16. LB Cole did some pretty good covers too.
