Then you'll probably like these too, from another Silver Starr book.

It isn't, though it is very high grade, especially for one of these Australian books with newsprint cover stock. I'd put it at 8.5

Thank you. I like it too, especially since it's a #1 (even if it doesn't say so). The cover is from Fiction House Firehair #2.

This is a cool cover! Thanks for posting.

You have good taste, my friend. 

I dunno, I'd be going after the redhead who looks like Maureen O'Hara too!

This issue is just before Tom and Jerry took over the title from the Our Gang characters. 37 and 38 both had T&J characters and 39 was the last, with a transitional cover to the T&J title. https://www.comics.org/issue/6258/cover/4/

Yeah - I really like a nice bright Dell book.

Donald doesn't seem thrilled either.

Unusual cover but I like it👍‼️

Quite a few differences. They have paper covers, not glossy cover stock. The page count was lower than American issues, sometimes dramatically so - 24 pages versus 48 or 52 for the WDC&S issues (later 32 v 36 pages). Lots of Australian comics were in B&W inside, including early Disneys. But by the time of this one the Disneys were full colour - and the local editors would go to great lengths to insert a 'u' in 'color' or 'neighbor' in the text!

Very neatly lettered too. I think the OO probably wanted to be able to put his/her comics in order without having to look at the indicia!

Great zebra cover👍👍

Yeah, I like it too. Though I'm not sure exactly what's going on in that picture. It looks like the warship is alongside the U-boat, engaging with small arms and hand thrown explosives. A bow on ramming would be more realistic.

Yeah, you gotta love a good L B Cole cover.

Life is like a box of chocolates

these Jane books (which i have never heard or seen before)  have nice covers ! 

Well the medusa assumes all hair can be deadly like hers so-

If by "symbolic" you mean "stupid and bearing no similarity to the story" then, yeah, it's symbolic.

I think it was a Mickey Mouse Club spin-off TV show. There are a bunch of these in the Dell Four Color series too. They aren't great reading!

Though slightly less educational.

It took me a decade to find one of those, but I'm glad I eventually got one.

I think this is a near reprint of Blue Beetle #25. Here's what the GCD says:
 
Notes There are no indications on the item as to its publisher. We formerly listed this title under Fox, following Howard Keltner's Golden Age Comic Books Index, but GCD scholars agree it was much more likely produced by Holyoke right at about the time Holyoke lost the rights to the Blue Beetle to Fox.

The notion that this was produced for use as a savings bond premium appears to originate with The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, and is also disputed by GCD experts.

A lot of the effect is the colouring. If you look closely, the only line art is the man and the boat - everything else is due to the colourist, Marie Severin.

I think there's trouble all round on that cover. The P-80 isn't going to pull out from there... (one of my pet gripes about a lot of air combat covers - a crash is inevitable as drawn).
