For fans of silhouettes and or animated films I recommend the 1926 film, "The Adventures of Prince Achmed." It is said to be the first feature-length animated film. Link Here are a few frames from it. Wow, very pretty! I like this one the best. Have you seen the film? Where did you find it? On line? The links I found to segments youtube are dead. Thanks, Jack

WOW! Great stuff. I especially like the silhouette panel at the bottom of this page. Who expected a GA comic book about global warming? Jack

Thanks. Lovely style with the unruled panels. Only Dell could pull that off well. That makes more sense -- at first I just thought that Wrinkles was always full of beans (a euphemism my mom used to use). Jack full of something

Panel 6 is a classic! I bet it scared some kids. Jack

Snoopwiggy! What a name, what a character design. What is he supposed to be? The Loonies are cool -- kind of reminds me of the CGC boards. I've got to get one of these some day. (Did you accidentally post the back cover twice instead of an interior page?) Thanks, Jack aka Snoop Wiggy Wigg

OH BOY! Just for that, you can be raggedybones instead of sweetiebones. Is the book dated 1945? Jerry's Who's Who suggests probably Kerr: KERR, GEORGE DELL PUBLICATIONS RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY (pen/ink/) 1942-45 > 42 43 44 45 but a helping hand from Kelly, esp. on the cover, is not out of the question KELLY, WALT DELL PUBLICATIONS Backup feature (wr/pen/ink/) 1946-49 in RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY With dark horses (I think we could spot Gollub): BING, L. DELL PUBLICATIONS RAGGEDY ANN (pen/ink/) 1942-43 > 42 43 ENRIGHT, W. J.

Jack

Wow, great catch! I'm seeing Walt Kelly-like bugs everywhere I look this week. (Maybe I should lay off the bourbon.) Is there a chance that he had a hand in this cover? He did draw #71. Is there a chance of page scans? Jack

Great additions to your collection, Matt. On this cover I especially like the way the front beetle is covering his head. Do you have any favorite strips in the early WDC&S? Thanks! I love the Beetles too, it just adds to the overall charm of the cover. ... Carl Buettner cover according to GCD. I don't usually like his as much as Barks' or Kelly's, but this one is a gem! I thought maybe those were prototypes of Kelly's bug family that often commented on the proceedings in Pogo. (dissed by some otherwise rational people here lately -- AARRGGHH!!) Jack

Ay Ay. Me neither. I've not given it a true honest-to-goodness try but what I've read of it leaves me a little cold. I'll get the new collection (whenever it in fact comes out) a try but might drop it quickly ... WHA-A-A-AT? I find him the funniest cartoonist of his time. There are a few of the Simon and Schuster that I still haven't read through or have long since forgotten, so I'm slowly (re)reading them now. Try about the mid-50s for some of the funniest stuff, when he had more slapstick in the strip. Multi-layered puns, great caricatures, jokes with long set-ups, parodies of other comic strips... now and then a gag will literally make me laugh 'til my eyes are wet! What's "the new collection"? I've got the S&S books, the Eclipse series (covering the early comic book work) and bits and pieces of other series. Have they unearthed new material or they're just rearranging it? Jack

Have there ever been thicker inks? And yes, Ozzie's intentions are less than honorable. Jack

You squeezed your eyes shut for this one ? Jack

Have you Golden Age readers ever had this problem? (from Howdy Doody 38 -- not my scan) Jack, distracted

Omigosh! Post of the day. How did you find this? I'd love to see it!! Sharp, clean-looking copy. Get it off the short bus and onto the "nah nah I have a book you don't have" thread. Jack

You jogged my memory. I just read about Voigt's Petey and Betty strips in an interesting book Comic Art in America by Becker (1959). Lots of interesting strips I've never seen before that are largely forgotten. I like Voigt's style. Jack Voight also drew the Betty comic strip from 1920-1943. More examples of this and other obscure comic strips at Link

What's the deal with "Jack and Jill, the Famous Neon Strange Twins." I think you need to read that cover with some breaks BZ it doesn't make sense without them Jack (just about to get a Neon cover from skypinkblu!)

I think I have 4 and 5 from that series -- I'll have to go get scans of the rest! Great page! Do you know who drew it? (Did you mention Palais in a previous post, or was that for one of the others?) Now I'm curious what kind of powers Atomic Man got from all that abuse. Thanks, Jack

WOW, good stuff. The first two are from Science Comics? Which series and issue? The third must be [The Coming of Atomic Man] from Headline Comics 16. Presumably long after Flash Comics 1 -- sure looks familiar. Thanks, JPS

LIAR!! I introduced you to Jill back then. How quick are you to forget Foxy Jill So many hot science babes. How can you expect me to keep track of them all? Jack

It cracks me up how the girlies keep saying, "Yummy!" Jack Thanks, Matt!!! I think this is the first time I've ever seen scans from that story.

"Jill Trent, Science Sleuth" I wonder if selegue and Jill have met? No, but I'm smitten (even though she's "only" a blonde). I don't think I've ever seen the feature before. Looks like fun. Actually my first thought was to introduce her to ciorac. I'm a happily married man. Jack thanks for thinking of me Jack. But since that was the GA, she may be a bit long in the tooth by now. That was the other reason it seemed like such a great match. Jack

?? Is this thread for DC war books only? It doesn't say so in the subject line. Someone correct me if non-DC books don't belong here. Jack Jack, I've seen Atlas, Marvel and a few other companies posted here and it is mostly DC but not restricted to DC only. I believe I am correct that other companies' books are welcome. Hope you had a good Christmas and New Years. Low-key and relaxing, thanks. I hope yours was good too. Thanks for the reply. Maybe I took "I loves me some DC War. :)" about my Quality book too seriously. Jack

I posted this one a while back in Gold, but what the heck -- this is the most active war thread and I actually have it in hand now. G. I. Combat 7 (Quality) from June 1953. GCD says that there might be a Crandall story but I don't see it. Beater condition, but who cares? Jack

Wow -- great catch! Wild cover -- maybe using those machine guns and cannons indoors isn't the best idea. When you're done reading the story, can you tell us exactly where Torch is coming from? Jack
