Arty

There seems to be a photocopy of the DD tells about kites -Florida Power and light version. The one "no-one" has seen... and thus many has thought it doesn't even exist...

I found a little better universal translator. With a LOT of tweaking it gave this somewhat understandable translation. PAM-agents Donald and Fethry are heading into a British airbase for their organization's top secret operation. But a sudden blinding flash transports them decades back in time, into the age of biplanes - however that is one of their least worries, because the airbase is plagued by a supernatural phenomena: tiny Gremlins are sabotaging planes and causing accidents.

There is even better resolution version of the later newsstand pic on that page.. high res pic

Hey those are not "bombs", they are mines and supposed land on water smoothly enough to not detonate. Although Shield seems to be taking a fast route and throwing them.

Art is from the forties so it's not Galgary Eye Opener stuff. I was just wondering if this was done while he was already doing duck-comics. Stylewise it seems possible since it's quite close to what Barks did when he drew tryout stories with human-figures circa 1950.

Sorry for posting non-duck stuff, but I just got my first Barks original art couple of days ago... Looks a bit like Madame Triple X from Dangerous Disguise, doesn't she? (Four Color 308) Anyone have scans from that book? can't find a pic of her anywhere.

Bump... anyone ever seen colors like this on a 50+ year old book... Finnish DD 5-1952 vs. WDC$C 140 (1952) Another pic. Couple of new books... Took pics with a digital camera and macro flash made them a bit dark on the edges.

oh my...first your amazing GA collection and now this... I hate you you better post some scans soon or I'll hate you even more...

Cool pics! Thanks. Btw it took awhile but we did get our own "Collected Works" afterall. Box set #2 just came out About 2100 sets were ordered here.

The Comics in Canada: An Illustrated History Great video and audio clips from CBC archives! -There's "Canada's first comic book store" TV-clip from 1967 -The men behind the "Canadian Whites", a line of All-Canadian superhero comics, discuss their creations -Soti discussions from radio also new stuff like Dave Sims interview...etc

I don't thinks it's rare. Even my local comic store has copies for sale (56 euros and that is a total ripoff price IMO). Reprints possibly?, I don't believe they are nearly 30 years old.

The book you bought is very nice. Hard to say is it better. But at least you have both "variants" now. Best thing is however, it didn't get into the hands of Terence Leder/ma4pres.

That MMM V5#9 in Heritage auction looks way undergraded. Can't see any defects but it only got 8.5 Probably one of the best deals in the whole auction for that price. Anyone know what happened to Crowley FC 79 CGC9.6? It was in auction preview but for some reason it was never offered for sale?. That was one sick book. Edit: WHOA.... $16,100 for WDCS 2 CGC9.0! Biggest price I have ever seen for a Disney comic!.

Here's a decent scan of the first one. web page

Now we are talking!!! (<---- first time I'm using this graemling on these boards) For those who don't know... this is ultra rare stuff. If my memory serves me correctly there are only ten existing pages of Barks art from the forties. (9 1/2? from this story ("silent night") plus one? page from the donald vs. rat story from wdcs 52. Dammit we need better scans....is it a new acquisition?

This will get you started... Leaf casting another link

Now you are in BIG trouble. Pedigree gods don't forgive that easily. The only way to save your damned soul is to make a sacrifice.... And there's only one sacrifice good enough: Break that slab, rip that label in shreds and BURN them! Otherwise

This might just get things even more puzzling. That marking is actually 50 Øre Øre - more info It seems to be a price marking in Norwegian or Danish currency Take a look at this book hkp posted a long time ago. It even makes sense pricewise

Henry Travis really loved his name
