great title logo

 

Fantastic! I really like the facial expressions and all the detail on this cover -- plus almost Itchy and Scratchy level of violence!

I see that it's a 2-issue Rural Home run -- I've never seen it before. GCD doesn't ID the cover but is it Dan Gordon? He (and also Harris Steinbrook, Jack Bradbury, Thurston Harper, Lynn Karp, Carl Wessler, Al Hubbard and Victor Pazmiño are listed on interiors. What a line-up!

Cover of 2 doesn't grab me as much.

Thanks for posting these.

Admittedly the tail end of the Atomic Age (and what's a 15¢ cover doing in Gold?), but I don't think that Sheldon Mayer's Three Mouseketeers have shown up here yet.

I like the page from #3 with a guest appearance from Spike, who has learned to talk!

Wonderfully drawn and colored:

Mostly sellers' scans and photos of all sorts. Obviously not worried about high grades.

This is my earliest Felix the Cat.

 

Four Color #15 (1942)

 

Nonetheless, it was Sullivan's studio that made him a hit, so it seems appropriate to include a couple of GA Australian Felix comics.

 

Too cool! I love all three!

 

Here are scans of a few more Felix related titles I have handy:

 

 

 

 

I really like #5's cover!

Here are my only scanned Felices. More in the piles -- somewhere.

you guys' punning is nothing to wright home about.

You have no Wright to criticize.

actually you do

More seriously, though not answering your question, this is a neat graphic -

 

Can always expect you to have the answers!

 

The 1940 duck is to all intents and purposes the modern duck, as any changes since then have just been tweaks.

 

I'm more curious whether the change from the primordial duck (1934) to cro-magnon duck (1940) was gradual, or did Donald one day suddenly transform from a clear 1934-based model into something that was clearly the 1940 model?

 

It'd be interesting to see portrayals of Donald throughout the intervening years to see if there was a clear and abrupt transformative moment or whether it was very subtle and gradual. Is there a missing link?

Speaking of abrupt transformation, the 1934 duck oddly reminds me of Tod Browning's Freaks (2 years earlier).

His feet keep getting smaller through the ages. Should we be worried?

Actually, it looks more like a periodic function -- small to large to small. They should be big again by about 2050.

Unless you're one of those anatine webfoot change doubters.

(probably caused by human activity)

As far as I know, Peterkin Pottle was all John Stanley, but I'm not the best artist-spotter. Was Post at Dell in 1949?

The series is worth finding. I don't think it's ever been reprinted.

JPS

That last cover looks to be by Howie Post.

 

Never even heard of Peterkin Pottle, but personally, I'd be more interested in a John Stanley strip than Raggedy Ann & Andy.

 

I don't know that I've ever seen a Dell book where a backup character took over the covers in another character's book.

 

 

Yes! # 1 through # 31. I quit the title once Peterkin Pottle starts showing up on the covers. I'll post a group shot eventually.

Congratulations! All the Four Color Raggedy Ann books too? #39 where they return to the cover? The Dell Giant? (That one is pretty easy.)

But poor Peterkin! It's a surprisingly good series by John Stanley.

As I flipped the pages I saw a little resemblance to Pogo. This scene with an alligator caught my eye.

 

Very nice!

The gator reminds me more of Fantasia than Albert though.

Jack

Stack of nice Valiants and a few paperbacks received. Well packaged, economical combined shipping. Good transaction all around.

Thanks,

I got a bit of a Timely. I think this is my only one...

 

 

I feel bad for the poor octopus.

 

 

Awesome book! Octopi are tough though; arrow to the head and still fighting!

 

That would be an arrow in the mantle. The brain is lower, behind the eyes. He might have hit the gonad however.

Maybe a teensy bit more than I wanted to know about Aquaman and his pal.

Has anyone ever posted this photo?

I hope I didn't make a Boo Boo

Come on Jack, that Baker ID was easy. The only one that was.

 

Sure was. Dumb guess. I had in my head that Maneely drew the origin of one of the blond western Kids. The fact that the style looked nothing like his didn't slow me down.
