One of my treasures, Magnus 20

Hair Bear Bunch #6

Here’s a Moby Duck cover that just came in.

I used to own a Turok wilson cover, but it left long ago. PLEASE keep posting pics. Threads are worthless without them…well maybe not worthless but not nearly as interesting. I love those Scooby covers! I’ve been looking for one of those over the years but never found one. I just bought a couple more Gold Key covers so I will post soon.

I’m in.

This is an awesome page by the brilliant Al Wiseman. I still read these all the time. Can’t wait to see you post the other pages!

I enjoyed Archie and Harvey in the 70’s but Gold Key really hit home with me as I was a Saturday morning tv junkie.I guess many of us were. Not to mention at that time they also published Scrooge and Donald Duck. Even Little Lulu digests! Anyway, please proudly show off your art- here’s an obscure title, the Hair Bear bunch. Never have seen any art from that short lived series. This cover just screams 1973.

Great pickup!

Why is the market never soft on what I want to buy?…

I was going to go to 20k on this one but just not alot of art on it for me, ( bust shots and same simple foreground). Decent gag, but I opted for the Ebay selection that day. I preferred it for many reasons. Didn’t want 2 in one day. But, I think there is a perception that even I have, that you can wait for the example you want with Peanuts. Maybe a good time to add a few more to the collection…

For instance?

Yes, a bargain. I didnt love the gag. I dont like “precious” Dennis nearly as much as menacing Dennis.

No

Wow, I’ve placed two of these pieces into Collectors favorites. So far! That’s cool.

So, I recently acquired a pair of pencils, roughed out in red then finished in lead, that were done on a vellum tracing type paper. They are by Al Wiseman, twice up, and from two different issues of Dennis the Menace from the 50’s. One is inscribed by Wiseman. He did his own pencils and inks from what I have known. Usually I see vellum used for inking such as with Romita. Any thoughts on what the process was here with Wiseman? I’ve only ever seen his inked pages on board. His early pages seem to have a lot of blue pencil underneath, and his later ones (from same era as the pencil pages) don’t have many pencils. I always assumed they were erased. How would an artist transfer finished pencils from one page to the final inked board? In the 1950’s that is... ps. A few years back I acquired a Dennis daily from 1953 that was pencils on vellum. Looks like Wiseman but was never sure. I thought it might be a prelim, but now I think it might be finished pencils, that were later inked somehow.

Holy Shyte!... that’s entertaining and informative.

From 6-13-1979. I think during first 12 months of the run?

Maybe this 1st year Little Lulu strip by Marge that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1935.

Great outcome to all of our greatest fear!

1953 Dennis... Lee Holley, Al Wiseman, Hank Ketcham?
