    Bugs Bunny / Looney Tunes first appearances help

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Grab from this year, 1st appearance of Honey Bunny. Warners was always looking for an 'answer' to Minnie Mouse. There were examples in ads where Honey looked like Bugs with a bow between her ears (ala Minnie>Mickey), but those just looked like Bugs in one of his drag bits.

    It wasn't until decades later they finally got the formula right with Space Jam and the introduction of Lola Bunny (a popular character with people who maybe were introduced to Looney Tunes trough that film), I believe this version of Honey Bunny was the 'prototype' for Lola.

    THE YEAR IN REVIEW: What have you collected in 2023 and aspire to in '24?

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Ok, since Cat said it's more of a collecting journey, the second post will stray from gold, but are still comics. So, i think i posted in a Thread asking goals for this year that i'd love to have a Mile High copy, that goal was achieved. Also got a rare book, a key 1st appearance and a classic cover back in the PC.

    Of course, you understand those rankings are only for slabs (with a single signature) that have been sold through venues tracked by GPA and not necessarily reflective of the CGC-graded totals.

    Yes, but it is helpful for my decision making for asking the question on 'opportunities' to pass or wait, who doesn't seem to have signed as much by comparison and paying a premium or not.

    It's a start for me in other words

    Putting aside SS books that are signed by multiple creators, looking at single creator SS books, in descending order of unique counts by cert number:

    1. Stan Lee

    2. Todd McFarlane

    3. Chris Claremont

    4. Neal Adams

    5. George Perez

    6. Jim Lee

    7. Robert Kirkman

    8. Skottie Young

    9. Donny Cates

    10. Frank Miller

    Unique Stan Lee signed books we have recorded are at a factor of 5 compared to Todd McFarlane, and a factor of almost 20 to Frank Miller
