Doggy fans seem to be scarce on this board. Where are all the covers picturing Streak the Wonder Dog, Rex the Wonder Dog, Pluto, Scamp, Ruff and Ready, Huckleberry Hound, Augie Doggy and Doggy Daddy, and Loopy de Loop?

Can you imagine how big a winner a non-smoker (or non-drinker) would have been? Taking advantage of the addictions of others?

In a few days ago, posted it over in the Four Color thread but not here:

A bad oversight on your part for such a great cover!

Does anyone know if Charlton print runs were on a par with Marvel and DC during the Bronze (and even Copper age, though that's when they folded)?

If sales data are any reflection of print runs, no where near as many Charlton comics were printed.

Agreed, Joe Maneely was a great artist and is perhaps the biggest wild card in the "Oh, what might've been" category. Also, the earlier Two-Gun Kid issues are where I developed an even deeper appreciation of John Severin's work (I may be alone on that, but so be it if I am)! T

I'm a big fan of John Severin's artwork as well!

I prefer the Matt Hawk incarnation over the original Clay Harder version. I prefer the distinctive attire and mask, giving him his dual identity (like many of Marvel's Superheroes), to the rather uninspired average cowboy look of the Clay Harder original.  I also enjoy the style of storytelling Stan and the gang adopted by the time the Matt Hawk character was introduced.

Ahhhhh but the Clay Harder Two-Gun Kid was drawn by the incomparable Joe Maneely!

The cover concepts and renderings in Mystery in Space and Space Adventures when they were edited by Julius Schwartz in the 1950's and early 1960's were fabulous!

My Northland Teen Titans comics both of which are graded NM:

See, you should have moved to L.A. in the 60s...   There was no problem finding that stuff in southern CA.

Yeah, I kept wondering through the 1970's and 1980's whether my neck of the woods in southern Ontario was just a backwater for the Silver Age DC and Archie superhero comics I most wanted. Looking through Overstreet was really frustrating since I very rarely saw the comics I really wanted advertised in the Comics Buyer's Guide.

Elmo the Wonder Dog is boss cool! Here he is on the back cover of 100-Page Super Spectacular 14:

I love the vest that the Silver Age Two-Gun Kid wore, but I don't like the fact that Matt Hawk was a tenderfoot and tinhorn from Boston.

Well then Phantom it is!

And why would the two dozen collectors of Patsy and Hedy or Homer the Happy Ghost be complaining about a price drop? The value of those books hasn't moved since the Nixon administration. 

Sheesh. Those fossils I guess should get with what modern day collecting is all about!
