    This recent pick-up is a bit of a grail for me, a real piece of comic history. It's taken years for one of these to show up on eBay. The very first Terry and the Pirates Sunday strip:

    An amazing piece of art - cool to compare with the color version.

    Picked up a very nice collection of Johnny Comet/Ace McCoy strips from a guy who'd bought them 35 years ago from Bill Blackbeard. This strip is pure Frazetta genius and absolutely beautiful in it's full-color newsprint glory. Here are a few samples: That's all for now. Will try to post some of the Ace McCoy strips later.

    The artist is question is cartoonist/animator Dan Gordon. There's a nice little article about his work here.

    More Eisner baseball, and some baseball ads from the Sunday comics of the 30's.

    I guess the Strasser collection is the Mile High of pulps - I'd love to hear more about the backstory of the collection if any of you pulp guys feel like spinning the tale!

    Just saw it and loved it - and I don't normally like these types of movies.

    Came across this article "Horror comics glut west side" in the Austin News of 1954. Remember, the comic books are really commies in our midst... Horror comics glut west side

    Now that's a nice piece of copy. The banner pic is fun too. Nice job of giving this collection some charm and character. Solid work CC!

    I'm only upset that I don't have one of these. Super cool piece of pulp history!

    Wondering what RM and others might think of the Birnkrant Collection - also assembled through flea markets and whatnot. http://melbirnkrant.com/collection/page1.html

    Just added some 1930 first year Buck Rogers to my strip collection. 86 years old and about as classic as you can get.

    Fascinating books, fett The Informer series looks like the comic book equivalent of a film noir like Detour (1945), filled with two-bit losers on the fast track to doom. I'm gonna try these out at the Digital Comic Museum.
