Schomburg on the outside... ...Frank Robbins on the inside....

I bought this to see if it would be a title worth collecting and methinks I may just pass on the title...anyway I got it cheap and there is a little bit of color touch on the cover....

This old musty thing arrived today

 

Thanks Bill

 

 

Enjoy it Collin! I know I did.

Mmmmm....I can smell it from here....

what's firestick medicine?

The gunshot in his chest....

Talk about stereotype

--------------------------------------

 

I wasn't aware that stereotypes for Japanese included fangs, claws and Vulcan-like pointy ears, even in 1943!

Kind of a spur of the moment type purchase...I took a chance and got it on the cheap...plus...it's a purdy nice 6.5 ...

My only VCC purchase with many thanks to alecholland ....I've been patiently looking for a nice copy of this mag which is chock full of Moebius and Richard Corben goodness...

The 100 pager even Greggy doesn't have....

Thanks Jack...as far as credits go. The Ali Baba story has a small blurb stating "As retold by Chad"...

Wow...cool book D27K....

These just in today...

This book has some imaginative artwork inside...

To paraphrase Montey Python..."And now for something completely different"...

...and this in today from mikeyriffhard...

Thought I already posted this....

 

You did...just messing with you

 

Oh well...always like seeing it again...

 

wow, i got the same book, only a bit different. must be a variant...

 

Great balls o' fire....

One of these days I'm gonna write my own interpretation of this book which is more positive towards the artwork of Jack Sparling...The story may be somewhat elementary but hey...Dells were geared for kids...

the last three were hidin’ out in a box under the table.

That's where the really good stuff is...

Nice books...

The guy on the left looks like he was shot in the back, but the guy trying to shoot the killer is aiming to the front.

 

Nice book, in any event.

The gun is parrallel with the bullet tragectory...

and, I remember the Little Black Sambo stories (chasing the tigers into butter?) in # 7?....

Yeah...I'm looking forward to reading that one...

Here are two more that came in today as well...

#5

#7

Very nice!!

Thanks.

Did Gruelle do the artwork on the whole series, including Four Color books?

I only have books from the regular series and all of them have art by Gruelle so logically thinking since it is his creation he probably did.

Did he ink as well?

I imagine so???...

Maybe he's even the mystery letterer that I was wondering about in the Four Color thread. Does this have elegant, almost italic lettering sort of like Eisner sometimes used on The Spirit? Those wallpaper cover backgrounds are really eye-catching.

Thanx tec27...

Love those early Top-Notch books...

Now for something completely differant..I've always enjoyed the works of Johnny Gruelle and was pleased to finally get a nice copy of the following book...

Raggedy Ann + Andy #1

Neutro has come home to poppa....
