I have almost all the ones above #49. Here are the first three: Northland copy

But you missed #37! Good thing Johntex posted it. Here's mine anyway: Okay. Here are mine: :

What's wrong with the Brave & the Bold 27? It looks really nice for a 7.5 from what I can see. That too looks to be a really nice copy for a 9.0.

There was a classic New York style candy store on Richmond Street in downtown London, Ontario directly across the street from St. Peter's School where I was obligated by my parents to attend extracurricular language classes between 4:00 and 5:30 Saturday afternoons. Davis Variety was its name. It had the obligatory lunch counter which the fellow worked himself. I was never drawn to get anything at the lunch counter though (not that I would have had the money anyway of course). Unlike the lunch counters at the downtown Metropolitan, Kresge and Woolworths stores, it was pretty spartan and dingy and just didn't appeal to me. Mr. Davis himself was almost a comic book caricature of the old guy working a hot grill and his lunch counter never seemed to have any customers on Saturday afternoons. He probably got the bulk of his business frying up breakfast and lunch for the teachers at St. Peter's. And of course everybody smoked and read newspapers in those days including the teachers and the respective bishops, priests and staff at the adjacent St. Peter's Basilica and St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral. The Davis Variety had most everything else to tempt a young boy with a quarter or two in his pocket though. It was one of the very few stores I knew that stocked Black Cat Bubble Gum which was licorice flavoured and was somehow chewier than Bazooka or even Dubble Bubble. I remember happily chewing on Black Cat and blowing black bubbles for hours! I also very clearly remember buying baseball cards at Davis Variety every so often: The wooden magazine rack was located on the other side of the store from the lunch counter and was thus well situated to sneak a peak at the insides of the titty mags. There would of course have been something wrong with any little boy who wouldn't glance at pictures of bare naked ladies given a chance. In fact, I'm sure that the priests from St. Peter's and St. Paul's, if not the bishops themselves, would have been taking the occasional peak as well. It was at the Davis Variety's magazine rack though where I first encountered Green Lantern 26, 28 and 29 and the excitement I felt seeing those issues for the first time is still seared in my mind to this very day. In fact, I'm sure those comics are the reason why I still remember Davis' so vividly. While St. Peter's and St. Paul's cathedrals are still there, 1979 was the last year for St. Peter's School and the Davis Variety has also been gone for decades. I have a vague recollection of once getting a chocolate milkshake that really wasn't very good at Davis' but sadly I never got to sample a cheeseburger there. You never know what you've got till it's gone.

I've found that the dust shadow has combined with the crooked cut to bother me more and more over time.

Here are scans of the next three Brave & the Bolds then:

The #33 is the only reasonable copy I have of the three: Mohawk Valley copy

I have dozens of these, mostly Felix the Cat, Little Audrey, Spooky, Wendy the Good Little Witch, Fighting Fronts, Warfront and Black Cat. I wish though I'd pulled out all stops and found the wherewithal to buy several hundred when Diamond Collectibles sent out a catalogue listing thousands in 1994 or so. Just another one of my collecting regrets. I still have the catalogue in a box somewhere.

I'd like to add more Looney Tunes to my collection over time. Since I've already posted some of my Lone Ranger comics, I'll post these as well: 13 14 15 16 17 21 22 31 32 File copy After all, when you have cowboys you gotta have Indians, right?

Fab copy of a sweet book! I'd like to add some Uncle Wiggilys to my own collection, both the board game and the comics! (thumbs u

The two I have are pretty nice. I bought them around the turn of the century:

That's a super copy! It's a lot better than the one I don't have. (thumbs u

That's alright. I'm willing to take them both off your hands, cheap!

Simply amazing! You have so many fabulous copies. (thumbs u

I'm reading the book on Kelly and it indicated that he got into trouble at the studio for taking a too independent approach to his depiction of the characters. So was he reading the Barks stories? With the studio? But Sqeggs is implying that Walt Kelly's take on the characters comformed to the way they were being presented by Walt Disney Studios in the cartoons. How was Carl Barks' portrayal of the characters different than the way they were being presented by Disney, and didn't Disney ever object? How indeed did Kelly and Barks portray the characters differently anyway? Moreover, both Barks and Kelly would have been working for Western Printing if they were doing the art for the Dell comics. If Walt Kelly's depictions of the characters wasn't consistent with that of Carl Barks, would it not have been Western Printing, not Disney Studios, that would have wanted a word with one or both artists?

Here are scans of four more of my Man from U.N.C.L.E. comics: 15 16 17 18

Dark purple! Wow! (thumbs u

Here are scans of a few more of my Adventure Comics that I haven't posted yet:

Oh I really like those Tarzan comics! (thumbs u

Well you should be! It's a classic of the genre.

Where/what is that? Here's a Four Color I thought I'd scanned over a year ago but evidently not: 845

Wow, the intro of Heckle and Jeckle! I like that! (thumbs u

It's #77 from 1961.

Here are scans of five more of my Tom & Jerry comics: 188 191 192 193 195

Here's one I've not yet posted: 77
