BB-Gun

Agreed, very special, and those images seem to have fewer artifacts than the old Milestone DVD (out about ten years ago), although they appear stretched. I hope these weren't shown on TCM in the wrong aspect ratio. Love to see Winsor's films remastered for BD. (thumbs u Images were photographs taken at an angle to avoid glare of flash. I was too lazy to turn it off. I found it interested that McCay and McManus were good friends. Their styles are different in some ways but both very elaborate.

I thought the Winsor McCay cartoons on TMC last night were really special. I liked the portions with other cartoonist like George McManus. Was this a rerun? I think I have seen Gertie the Dinosaur on a previous occasion. The Dog and Flying House were pretty amazing too. I think the big guy at the end of the table was Roy McCardell who was an American journalist that was responsible for bringing Outcault and the Yellow Kid to American newspapers as a full page color strip.

These are a little beat up but nice for a grab bag purchase.

A few new Jungle books that I like. "Blood Bride of the Crocodile" seems like an interesting story...

OK, the cover of Underworld Crime is not particularly pretty so why buy another cover? So I could finish reading the story that wasn't complete in my other copy.

I especially like the wide variety of characters you find in the early All American comics. We have two Ultra Mans, one Red, White and Blue, one Scribbly, one Hop Harrigan and one Adventure in the Unknown covers. Is Adventures in the Unknown featured in any other book?

Very nice...I have wanted the gun book for a while.

There was a big variety that you may have missed.

Thanks for the kind words and for spending the time reading through this thread! As for missing out on issues that I wanted, I would say that the hardest for me to get were "4-COLORS"...they never seemed to be on the newsstand...I could only find them at the Downtown W.T. Grants which I wasn't able too do too often and when I did, never had enough money to get all that I wanted. As for others that I missed out on getting due to "lack of funds" were ALL WINNERS and the 15-centers like COMIC CAVALCADE and WORLD'S FINEST. Thanks again for your interest! mm You probably missed out on a lot of these if you couldn't find four colors. Fortunately they have all been reprinted so many times that you can read the stories without breaking the bank.

YOU WIN! Which Detective # is this from? Detective 15 or 16? This one is from Detective 17.

From Don Markstein's Toonopedia, I have copied comments about the other artists that worked on Scorchy. "stand-out was Bert Christman, who later co-created The Sandman for DC Comics. The next outstanding cartoonist to work on Scorchy was Frank Robbins, who, like Sickles, had never had a feature of his own before. His signature first appeared May 22, 1939. Robbins packed the strip with hair-raising adventures, but he didn't stick around very long. In 1944, he was hired away by King Features, where he created Johnny Hazard — practically a clone of Scorchy." Then there was another succession with, again, one minor stand-out — George Tuska (Buck Rogers, Crime Does Not Pay and other diverse credits) served a stint during the 1950s."

Scorchy was featured in issues of Dickie Dare and Famous Funnies. Is your comic an anthology or does it also feature DD? I believe Ron Goulart wrote an article about Noel Sickles which featured a lot of art. Wikipedia mentions Noel's early collaborations with master cartoonist Milton Caniff. Classic adventure stuff...worth remembering, I think.

I like that purchase. Several years ago I passed on the purchase of that issue because I wasn't sure if it was the first Luthor. Oops...

I can knock on the door but it is far from complete.

Congrats, that issue is a fan favorite! Thanks West (thumbs u Congrats Josh. That's a cool and odd title... I've got a copy of this one. Not nearly as cool a cover, though. The first one was signed by Stoner but the other two look like they were drawn by Fujitani or lifted from one of his stories in the interior.

Marvel Tales 96 is one of my favorite pre-code GGA covers.

After a quick check, I see that Fox is making a new FF movie. The guy who will play Mr. Fantastic went to school with my daughter. Perhaps with new interest in the characters, the Torch can get a spin-off movie.

Since the Torch is tied up with the Fantastic Four, it is doubtful that Disney will be able to make a movie with the character. However, it would be neat to see Subby and the Torch fighting again. Especially the invasion scene in Human Torch 5.

I saw a bunch on ebay recently.

and I like Tor too.

I was a big fan of Kubert art back in the sixties.

The origin of Daredevil appeared late in his tenure.

Awesome book Sagii I have been a fan of MLJ since reading Keltner's article in Alter-Ego 4.
