A couple of little whiz comics house ads from slam bang #5

Found these going through my dc box. Got them cheap in a junk shop years ago along with some issues of Bob Hope and honeymooners and Date with Judys. The Sprang and Sheldon Moldoff art in the Batman 127 is great, I love that stuff.

oops I didn't see that The way they were posing and had comics hung up behind them and that they were all horror books they were holding, it looked like other photos I have seen with kids that went around collecting comics for their church and then posing with them before they burned them.

Cool thanks. I didn't think the numbers would be that close.

I see a few ones I own in there. Those definitely went up in flames, that or destroyed some other way. What a shame.

The only issue of planet I own. Though the cover and insides don't match, I got the cover around the wrong insides at some flea market 20 years ago and then the insides in a stack of coverless books years later, so I am not sure what issue the insides are from.

It's from #13

Not exactly odd, unusual or funny, though kind of funny in a way to me actually. It just stuck out to me going through my issues of Fight Against Crime. No wonder people went nuts over comics at the time

is this from the Ribtickler? Bizarrely funny! Yep haha I think there's actually two stories in there where a character kills themselves with a gun. Seems to happen quite often in Fox funny animal books.

I had a couple of those ones in the vacuum formed packaging, I remember a KB Toy store by me had tons of those things well into mid 90s. I don't think they could give them away, they were always there collecting dust.

Not comic characters really, but my favorite model kits are the 60s Big Daddy Roth rat fink ones. I had Just the box of one of them at one time and always wanted to get some.

Lucky "7" Comics #1 Daredevil Comics #11 Captain Marvel Adventures #18 Liberty Comics #14 Sensation Comics #6 All of which have slipped through my fingers very cheap at one time or another

I really like this Kelly Freas cover. Cool interior illustrations too. Also I have had this for like 15 years and only just noticed the one woman looks like she is wearing a codpiece haha

I just found one of my posters from it the other day. I know I had one signed by Stan Lee, but I have no idea what happened to it. The only person I remember being there at the one I went to was Stan Lee and it was this long wait for him to get there and they kept announcing he was on his way. It's funny too how small it was, there had to be only 100 people sitting in folding chairs and Stan just sitting behind a folding table. It was a small place with hardly anyone, nothing like conventions nowadays, no one dressed up except people there working for marvel, there was a guy dressed up as Wolverine with huge fake muscles and you could pay to take pictures with him. Only other thing I remember was them giving away little metal buttons for the 30th anniversary of the Avengers.

It looks like the two foreground guys were cut and pasted on there from a different drawing. Maybe it was a rush job because something happened before printing? Whatever it is I like it.

One of my favorites...

A few of my four colors. The Howdy Doody one I found in a used bookstore on May 20, 1989. I just remember that exact date for some reason, who knows why.

I only had 70s comics of my uncle's as a little kid, but GI Joe 24 and 25 were the only new comics I had at the time. I read these things a million times and as I got older became sort of obsessed with the baroness in these panels haha

This is the only GA superman thing I have. In the late 80s, my school library still had National Geographic magazines going back to the 40s and I found this in a 1948 issue and cut it out.

I guess this counts as a pulp, it's larger than a standard pulp, has pulpy cheap paper but has thicker cardstock like covers. I never have been able to find anything about it anywhere, but I assume it was a quick thing to try and cash on on the 1938 radio broadcast.

Shadow pulp from Argentina. I think the US version was from 1933, this one is from 1940.
