This is an unlisted promotional variant of a Gerber 9/No-Show, used to promote a one-night performance of the opera in a NY high school. Note that one cover has a price and one doesn't. -

Found these while digging out some "Bulls Eye" comics. Pre-code Ajax romance can be pretty tough to find...

Sharp copy Doc. Kirby didn't miss inside either! When we start exhuming historical figures for wholesale cloning, Jack Kirby should be among the top five initial candidates.

This may be the start of a healthy new trend, or you may wake up after this binge and you may ask yourself...

Through my conversations with Yellow Kid, whom I had the pleasure of visiting again last week, I've come to realize how important a year 1935 was for Disney publications. Hal Horne invested a lot of his own money in the third Mickey Mouse Magazine with the support of Walt and Roy Disney and Kay Kaymen. A very deliberate decision must have been made, most likely to the credit of Kamen, to put more emphasis on and improve the quality of the children's books and magazines. On that background, I've earned new respect for this particular book, the first devoted to a key character, as it coincides with the exact time of a very important new direction that proved to be hugely important for Disney. The 1936 "Donald Duck" is really a handsome volume, and I think the transition between these two books marks a very important historical event. I've never liked the term "key issue" when talking about the history of comics as I see that process mostly as a slow evolution of trial and error iterations. Even books like Action 1 and Detective 27 were far from brilliant strokes of genius that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In terms of Disney books, however, I think that this book, as part of a sweeping change that is reflected in publications from a brief window of time starting around the summer of 1935, marks a change of an importance that I had not fully appreciated until recently. It's still an evolutionary change, but it is about as close to a revolutionary one as I can think of. WOW, that's an awesome knowledge drop that I was completely unaware of!! Thank you so much for sharing that information!! +1! Really informative commentary with great historical perspective!

Cold War Comics-show us yours. Updated with NEW Rarities
BOOT replied to eccomic's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I've never seen this one-any details? Who published it and when? GREAT find! Thanks! It was published by the National Research Bureau of Chicago, which also published America Under Socialism. No date on it. Can't find any other information about it - unlisted in Guide. Never even knew this existed until I saw it. The guy I got it from got it 25 years ago from the CEO of a public utility. Maybe it was sent out as a sample for solicitation and never widely distributed? -
Great tough giant! Re: Fox Giants - a friend once had two longboxes of different titles and different versions. Fun books! Long since sold...
