Get Marwood & I

Oh dear Hector. The dogs lovely, but that's rotten luck. Sorry this happened to you. It could have been worse though. They could have been pence copies

On the road today. Proper response later!

I love you Gary. Yes.

That makes the most sense I guess. I'll post some more soon about the patterns I'm seeing across the 20 titles. They're not absolute, but do seem to tell a story of sorts. The more we post about it, the more chance someone who knows the history will spot it and dive in

Me too. I've written to many industry figures and always draw a blank. Steve Ditko, bless his soul, advised me by letter that it was all inconsequential. So many reasons to love that man

Nope, it doesn't. Shame everyone involved seems to be dead.

Oh, right. I misread it probably.

Thanks. I find it odd that a pattern of multiple fonts exists for a small window of time and then stops dead. I see patterns, linking to pence copies, and therefore potentially planned changes. I think there is a reason these variations exist and don't personally buy broken plates as that reason. Somebody must know what it is! With the 9d version there are 5 RHK 17s. They ran the pence copies, switched plates and they then broke three times in one run? And each time they added a different font 10c?

Lazyboy, why do you think copies exist with different price fonts? Rawhide kid #17 has four different US 10c prices. Do to think this indicates multiple printings or something else? I'm interested in your opinion. It's hip to be square Aman! As a one time prolific Spidey promo collector I'm as certain as I can be that no normal size ASM 46 giveaway exists. But I'm always happy to be proven wrong, once or twice a century

Here it is Max

Interesting thread I think the ASM #46 insert you're remembering is this one Aman: It was only in Eye magazine as far as I'm aware and not in 'Esquire' as indicated in Overstreet and certainly not in any newspapers. Back to the colour variations and printing history, @James J Johnson, if you get a chance to read my thread here I'd be interested in your thoughts: I've been plotting all 20 titles Marvel produced between the dates of June 1960 and Feb 1961 and there are a lot of issues with multiple price fonts. There are some interesting correlations when you line them up side by side and I'm convinced that the differences in US fonts is connected to the presence of pence issues as the pence gaps (issues where no pence copy exists) largely match the pattern of the issues without US font variations. Difficult to put into words really, but have a look anyway. One day, someone will come forward with an explanation I hope

Ah wells, ze poll it haff closed and zere is no love for Ze Count and his postages. Zis is a sad day for Ze Count.
