I mean a scan of the Robot_Man copy is the scan on GCD. I don't think I've ever uploaded any scans or info on there, but I probably should. I have copies of books that don't have any info on the stories. Somebody must have stolen my scan but that is what happens when you post on a public forum. Would have been nice if the poster had asked first... You should try scanning complete comics from your collection and uploading them to DCM for free. Quite a few of the users then download it, smack them all together on a CD and sell them as a "collection' on ebay; or even better print them out and sell them as photocopy comic books. And my motivation would be what??? To make copies available to the hundreds of people who DON'T try and resell the material, and instead scan their rare material you don't have and make it available to you and everybody else for free. Seeing people sell my scans is annoying; but that annoyance is nothing compared to the satisfaction I get from knowing people are enjoying the free versions; and from getting to see thousands of books shared by others that I could never afford.

A quick question for the Duck experts here: One of my projects for the year is going to be working on my collection of the Barks Uncle Scrooge issues. I'm not trying to get all the Barks Scrooge appearances, just the Scrooge feature, if that makes sense. With that said, does anybody know off the top of their head where Barks worked on the Uncle Scrooge feature outside of Uncle Scrooge 1-71? I have Uncle Scrooge Goes to Disneyland and Disneyland Birthday Party, but are there any others I should be on the look out for?

Sure, blow my Frontline Combat post away with that... Beauty really doesn't seem like the right word, does it? Let's go with Amazing book.

Snagged at my LCS today... Low grade, but low cost. I only need 4, 8, 9, and 10 to complete the run now, the series is just crazy cheap for classic EC material.

Got this one in the mail this week: Has an early, un-reprinted John D. MacDonald SF story.

http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php Go looking around there, there's a LOT of romance comics posted. Even if you do want to track down the physical books- goodness knows I do if I can- it's a good place to start looking at stuff and see what titles or runs look worth working on.

Not a high grade copy, but I think it's $13.99 very well spent none the less:

What a beauty of a book!

My copy is definitely in need of an upgrade, which is why I still look for it and saw that auction. At least I've got a copy to read, right?

Just out of curiosity, did anybody here get this one? I know the book is hard to find, but it went for a LOT more than I would have expected in the low grade it was in: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-DELL-FOUR-COLOR-402-MARY-JANE-AND-SNIFFLES-COMIC-Fair-/361834098153

Something about this thread Bugs me...

Gotta love Jimminy and the Magic Book. Just wish I could find some more issues- including that one!

Picked up at Jet City Comic show in Tacoma today. I want to say it's the only Buck Rogers cover on Famous Funnies (not counting some group shots or cameos) other than the 209-217 run...

Here's a pulp I've had for a few years now. The painted cover makes it a particularly eye-watering effect, to my mind:

Probably with Thanksgiving hot on the heels of this holiday and kids still in school,it doesn't seem like the timing would be as good as the Christmas and summer vacation Giants. I don't recall the Disney gang doing Halloween specials although Huey Dewey and Louie did Back to School Giants (small consolation when that when came out!) it seems like the Western gang had a pretty consistent strategy in the fifties. I wonder why Bugs got Halloween? Maybe because the Looney Tunes were more 'wascally' than the Disney gang Dell thought Halloween was a better fit? Or maybe Disney opposed? Really not sure. Instead of a 5th Halloween issue, they did the County Fair giant instead; which they got on sale a bit earlier than the Halloween issues. I'm guessing they wanted to at least try a Halloween Giant, and they had more obvious candidates for Disney giants, so they went with Bugs, who had somewhat less obvious excuses for giants. Sigh. I wonder which box has my handful of Disney Giants right now...

Sadly, I'm off on the other side of the country. I did see some nice pulps at Jet City Comic Show in Tacoma, WA last year; and that's where I'll be this Saturday. Good luck at the show!

And there's Daffy (on the back cover!!). He got no love on the group books back then. Nice of you to post the back covers along with the fronts Daffy was bizarrely underused in the Looney Tunes books other than his own title, for some reason. And happy to post both sides. Now if I can just track down the 3 Bugs giants where I've got the **** ad version instead of the good one...

And #4 [ It's not like any of the Bugs Bunny Dell Giants are particularly hard to find, but I would say the Halloween issues are a bit scarcer than the others. I wonder if they had a shorter shelf life before being pushed out by the Christmas Giants?

I said I would post these a few days ago, then never got around to it. Still, I figure I'm in time for the holiday: #1

I've really never understood why there's such demand for The Skylark of Space, Lensman is really a much better series. ( ) Seriously, great pickup. Gratz!

This thread needs a bump... Fresh from Lone Star today:

Well, since I've got them in my Bucket already, and haven't scanned the Halloween issues yet, here's a few Bugs Vacation Giants:

And, one of the odder Bugs Bunny books:
