  1. It does look as if the collector took great care of them. The staples also seem to have been carefully removed without any unnecessary tears.
  2. Thank you. I've considered ebay. The problem is I live in Denmark and haven't sold anything on ebay in at least 15 years so potential buyers would probably be wary.
  3. I have a selection of original detached FF covers from Kirby's classic run that were originally purchased by a collector who had the interior pages privately bound. Does anyone know what the value of such things could be? Here are some highlights.
  4. Green Arrow even ended up being called Røde Pil (Red Arrow) in Danish back then.
  5. The remarkable thing is that despite being German, Swiss and Austrian they all speak Danish in these drawings. ;)
  6. The Mexican non-canon books relied heavily on swiping. José Luis Duran's art in the issue in the ebay auction, for example, is swiped from John Romita's art in Daredevil # 18.
  7. First Superman ever published in Denmark. A Sunday page printed in Illustreret Familiejournal # 39 from September 1940.
  8. Skipper Skræk would also occasionally do some quirky covers, like this Laurel & Hardy from 1947. Or, as they were called in Denmark, Gøg & Gokke. Kids were encouraged to use their heads as masks, which is why there are dots on each ear to indicate where you could punch a hole, pull a string through and create your own mask. This must also be the reason why this issue is quite rare, as many issues must have been destroyed by kids eager to perform their own Laurel & Hardy shows. Even when I grew up in the 70's and 80's our national broadcast tv station would air their movies - along with Chaplin, Buster Keaton and the Marx Brothers - on a weekly basis.
  9. Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel in Danish comics anthology Skipper Skræk 1947-48. In Danish they were called Atom-pigen (the Atom Girl) and Atom-drengen (the Atom Boy). These were published here before the appearance of any independent superhero titles. First Danish superhero title was Superman # 1 in 1950.
  10. I would be grateful to hear how you would grade this book?
