Happy 117th, Elizie!

First time I've seen this particular paint book, BZ. Very nice!

#1

 

Great copy!

 

I got some grades back on some Cherry Poptarts today.

 

All first prints...

Cherry #6, #8, #15, #17, #18, #21, #22 - All 9.8 WHITE

And then there were three.. welcome to the club. :thumbsup:

Nice grade on the #2 as well.

Here's a few more covers 928 because l have always been a big Lloyd Bridges fan And 221, 220, 219, 213, 211, 207, 205, 200, 199 and 195 to fill some gaps

 

Been trying to locate a copy of this for years.. hard to find.

Found these for $5 each at a street flea market in Manhattan.

1934 strip reprint promotional comics -- Gerber 7s -- Grade about Fine-

OS guide at $183 in Fine.

Found a bunch of Whitman's at an annual flea market (about 25 in all). A few are on the rares list, including an Uncle Scrooge 179. I was especially stoked to find 3 high-grade copies of the Whitman 75¢ price variants.

Nice! Any Popeyes or a Black Hole 4?

Found these for cheap at a street flea market in Manhattan.

1935 strip reprint promotional comics

Gerber 7s

A little edge fading, some spine wear, minor tears, minor foxing, some staple rust.. but incredibly smooth, glossy covers. Look about FN- to me.

Here's a slab I KNOW you've never seen before!

 

 

only graded copy

 

William Van Horn --> Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge artist/writer for Disney comics. His Nervous Rex work pre-dates his Disney work by a few years!

Used to love this series. I had completely forgotten about it. Nice book. :thumbsup:

It was The Big Loo and then it changed to something else.

 

I believe it was changed to "Red Melvin" or something like that.

 

Yes, that's it!

TheBigLoo has been selling a ton of nice Big Little Books on ebay.. anyone seen the BLB shelves at Geppi's lately? I fear they may be bare.

It Rhymes With Lust

 

Dust? Rust? Trust? Crust? :think:

 

Mulva?

I don't get the title. Am I missing something? How about bust, thrust or Delores?

 

Her name is "Rust".

Hah. My second guess. Do I win a prize?

Thanks, Mark.

Ok, first time in a while that I've had to post here. Bought a book from Bellrules1 on 5/12 - a new guy on the boards who has done nothing here but post a couple of sales threads . . . perhaps my first cue that something was wrong. Takes him 9 days to contact me, and another three days to even shoot me his PayPal addy. So far he's guilty of only incredible nonchalance. I pay him on the 5/24 as soon as I have the details. It's now 6/12 and there's no sign of the book. It's been 31 days, but only 20 days since I paid - either way . . . Houston, I think we may have a problem

Divad.. I have nothing but good things to say about bellrules1. I've had a couple purchases from him go through without a hitch. He's been a great board buddy and I've found him to be a standup guy. Might just be a case of "real life" taking precedence over "comic life".. but I think that he will make good. Hope this gets cleared up amicably.

and Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Kelly Bundy!!!!

I'll never get tired of posting this.. so bad it's good.

I once bought a $180 Fawcett from him. I wasn't happy with the book, and asked him if I could exchange it for a $180 DC he had for sale.

 

He replied that a $180 Fawcett isn't worth as much as a $180 DC.

 

You should have asked him to pencil a nice Church code on the Fawcett to make you feel better.

 

Why not? He's done it to other books.

 

 

Roy, bringing the cheese, I also heard he and some Geppi guy marked up bunch a books to look like and sell off as Church copies,

 

Looking for me? Where are we going, Roy?

Thanks to pinball for a nice Funny Frolics #1.

Finally! :banana: :banana:

Been wanting the 9.4 on ebay for a long time, but the BIN price is sky high.. but a 2nd 9.4 just popped up.

Exterminate! Exterminate!

Got this trio from my good buddy Richard (Mr Bedrock). I am very pleased to have them in the house

 

 

 

 

Gotta give when anyone posts King Comics! Real nice books. That 85 is a beauty. Love the Blondie, too. Great cover.

Re-watched the Crumb documentary again today.. was really surprised to hear Crumb's nasty remarks about Larry Welz towards the end. He was on the phone and someone was apparently trying to persuade him to participate in an animated feature project.. he said:

I got no patience for Hollywood bulls***...

 

I can't think in those terms..

 

I've already got SO much of my life wasted with those people down there. Animation? Forget it. No. Not interested at all.

 

Hasn't been a decent animated film made in this country since about 1940.

 

Cherry Poptart is an abomination. Larry Welz is an idi*t. It's gonna be a piece of garbage. I'm not interested.

I didn't even know who Larry Welz was the first time I watched this film, so those remarks didn't mean anything to me. Now that I do, I was all like

I went to an outdoor market near my place yesterday that happens only twice a year - easily over a thousand vendors selling everything including the kitchen sink (ok maybe not a sink, but I did see a one of those old school drinking fountains). It takes an entire day to cover the entire grounds.

 

Picked up only three comics - one of them was one of the tougher Whitman's - Popeye 158 (this isn't the actual copy, but here's the issue I'm referring to) in VF shape.

 

I even made a strong offer to buy a 60's era comic stand (not a spinner) but they wouldn't sell.

Real nice find! Congrats.

:thumbsup: Great copy!

The Popeye strip was a hoot.

 

The humor, even after all these years, still stands up.

 

I was visiting a circus friend this past weekend and he showed me a copy of the 1936 Ringling program, in which I discovered...Popeye. There's no escaping him.

 

Love that advert. Geppi's Museum has a bunch of those biscuit boxes.. and some of the cookies encased in plexiglass. Still edible?

The other day I was looking at some 1930's sideshow photos online and I took special note of this shot.

 

I wonder if Olive Oyl ever found out about Popeye and the Four-Legged Girl?

Hah. Awesome photo! Olive would definitely not be happy to see that. She had quite an anger management problem..

The average person on the street has heard of what percentage of these characters?

 

 

Great books you have posted here Honky Cat..

 

All your runs are amazing...I love this run in particular because you just don't see these very often....

 

Anyway....thanks for posting..... (thumbs u

 

If you need a Single Series #20...contact Comics-n-ERB I think he has one for sale....

+1 :thumbsup:

I really like that Alice in Wonderland.

Picked up a copy of this Popeye story book from the late 30s.. for $6.99.

 

Congrats on getting such a good buy.

 

It looks like a great book and it's one that I don't have.

 

Is the format the same as Popeye and his Jungle Pet?

 

Thanks BZ. No, the format is different. It's a very thick cardboard stock cover that wraps around and is saddle stitched like a Feature Book.

Added another storybook to my collection. What a beauty!
