  1. I love this show! Wish I could have been there! A few years back I got to meet Lupoff at the show and grabbed an autograph on my well read copy of AICFD. I would have snagged that Classic Comics peeking out of the comic pile if it was an interesting book. That copy of the East Village Other also looks intriguing. Those early counter culture newspapers are interesting reads and don't show up too often; they mostly got tossed in the bin. I always find something intriguing at this show; I picked up a pile of Humbug magazines at the last one I attended. Looks like great fun Bob!!
  2. Rich made a lot of connections on these boards all driven by his love of Disney comics! A wonderful thing for the rest of us to aspire to here!
  3. These Kelly covers always make me smile!!
  4. Oh I'm sorry you didn't know but Rich passed away last year. Here is the tribute thread if you would like to read it. RIP Rich Olson
  5. Two early issues came up on these boards for sale a number of years back. I was thinking the price was a bit steep but @Yellow Kid Rich Olson convinced me they were a good buy. I sure miss Rich's advice. Here they are.
  6. Awesome very early Barks book! I've only got a couple in the thirties; they are great books!
  7. Quite the journey so far; thanks for posting all these great books!
  8. Interesting research endeavor. How did you determine he came to be known as Dave Jay in the RBCC ad?
  9. Interest on the money they tied up at the current rate seems a reasonable settlement. I’d ask for cash not store credit though. The $95 seems appropriate given that. Not every problem should result in a lawsuit; I’m afraid that is something not everyone understands.
  10. Nice piece and I really like the cover with the embossed penny. Very interesting but not a comic; but then again who cares!! Try finding another one! Thanks for posting.
  11. Were these characters all in animated cartoons? I should go see what is available on You Tube for viewing. Other than Mighty Mouse I don't recall seeing many of these characters.
  12. Looking at the covers of this era were there simply more fantasy based movies coming out in the early sixties? Today we have the windfall of superhero movies from Marvel but the variety does not seem to be there. Of course we recently had a new Godzilla and Dune just came out but beyond that what other movies are on offer that might compete?
  13. I really like this era of the Four Color Series with the movie photo or illustrated covers. They have a unique early sixites feel to them. Even the revised Dell logo is interesting; perhaps a nod to stamp collecting. There were also some great movies coming out at that time to feature in these books. The Jules Verne adaptations are always great.
  14. I love the juxtaposition of Mr. Scarlet on the logo of 3 and 4!
