Now I never would have guessed that Gorgo fancied dairy products, but here he is rushing to the aid of the friendly neighbourhood milk maid:

I believe that's issue #144 though. Mighty Mouse is rad cool anyway! Very sadly I have only these two Adventures of Mighty Mouse comics in my collection: 144 155

Oh man! I love it! The hand-wringers and killjoys today would hyperventilate at the sight of that cover! You should post that one in the politically incorrect cover thread.

I agree! That cover is more Halloweenie than most being posted. October cover date, an orange moon, bats, lots of Halloween indicators there.

You're not mistaken. Kelly Freas is indeed great!

One more this afternoon:

At least they're legitimately Halloween as opposed to generic horror.

Thank Odin for small mercies.

Well let's go for both front and back covers then:

From 1964:

My favourite Psycho cover: Certainly a nice dairy princess on the cover!

I'm sure we'd all like to meet Corliss! BTW, does anyone know any women named Corliss these days?

Gotcha! That marketing trick worked with my wife - she got really excited when I showed her the comment on the label Hopefully you gave her an appropriately disgusted look.

Oh yeah! I loved Beany and Cecil cartoons in 1962-63! Here are a couple of my Beany and Cecil comics: 2 5

Yeah, that;'s what I like about the Raggedy Ann & Andy covers as well! These are some of my other posted favourites:

Another one that catches the eye/ Oh man! There are so many! And the inside pages were loaded with great illustrations too. When I first heard the term "pulps" in the context of collectible magazines, I actually thought the reference was to these sweat magazines. When I found out otherwise, I couldn't understand why the pulp magazines were more highly prized than the sweats. The cover art on the pulps was pallid in comparison to that of the sweats, and the sweats also had plenty of great interior art unlike the pulps which had basically no interior art. Plus the sweats had far more useful how-to and human interest features of course.... Once again, I think the pulps might have been bought and read by older kids in the twenties, thirties and forties. Therefore once these kids grew up and the warm glow of nostalgia for their younger days set in, the pulps became collectible. By the sixties, however, titty mags had cropped up on the stands and these provided much more of a lure for young boys graduating from comic mags than did the sweats. Speaking from my own personal experience, in 1964 I was buying DC comic mags, Mad, Drag Cartoons, Creepy and Eerie started drawing my interest in 1965 and Playboy and other titty mags became my rags of choice in 1967. The sweats I just viewed as a curiousity, something that might be bought by older working class men. So I never bought the sweats even as a young teen. Ergo nostalgia just didn't come into play for me when it came to the sweats.

Are you aware of any semi-comprehensive listing of the sweats with artist credits included? http://www.philsp.com/mfi2.html Great stuff! Thank you.

You know that cover is so nice that I keep returning to it for another look.

Oh man! That is wild cool!

Here's a scan of my own copy: Rocky and Bullwinkle remain two of my very favourite cartoon characters. Unfortunately for the purposes of this thread, their Dell appearances are mostly in the Four Color title.

Are you aware of any semi-comprehensive listing of the sweats with artist credits included? Something similar to Overstreet even without the prices? And incidentally the last thing I care about in any "price" guide is the prices. It's the informational content I want.

So how is it that Men Today were battling Nazis in the sixties? Should they not have been working to stem the Red Menace or the Yellow Peril? In fact, there seems to be quite the dearth of Commie bashing covers overall. I'd like to see some.

So how did you stumble on that one? Is that the best copy in the CGC census? Certainly looks like an interesting story too!

Oh man!

Wow! Great copy from 1958!
