Big All-American Skippy's Own Book of Comics

I thought the issue wasn't that they were going to implement a ten point restoration system, but they were going to implement it and also start a comic book restoration service at the same time.

The article seems to be very misleading. It is written to suggest that Action Funnies actually came out prior to Action Comics #1. The sucess of Action Comics #1 (and possibly the release of Wonderman) galvinized the Ashcan production to grab as many titles as possible. Now, if the reverse were true, then we have to take a good look at comic history because it would mean Action Comics isn't what really kicked off the Golden Age.

Popeye first appears in 1929. Olive Oyl first appeared in 1919. I was amazed at that. Olive's first boyfriend was Ham Gravy. Of course this is all comic strip so I don't know the comic book answers. Olive Oyl's first appearance in a book is "All the Funny Folks" Platinum Age.

There have been a few recreations done. Ian is the collector you are refering to.

The seller is barkertowne. Aren't all their books those water damaged books from that warehouse full of comic books and magazines?

YOu want to explain for us ? I find the Detective run particularly interesting.

And as if by magic, here it is.... That's cool. I can just see Mark (Esquire) drooling on that book.

Gary Dolgoff has a coverless Marvel #1 (also missing a wrap I believe) I think he's asking $4500 or so.

That information was posted on the board as second hand info from an unknown source. So it really doesn't mean anything.

In your example, I suppose I lost the PGA Masters tournament, because I didn't enter. As in I suppose I lost money on not selling the NA26, because I didn't have it. 1)You would've lost the tournament anyway. 2) You didn't have access to the book, but DTA did, and his (or whoever's) play resulted in no sale. Hence that's probably over 1k he could have in his pocket that isn't there. Apples and oranges, but I think you know that and are just trying to be difficult. Your position makes no sense. By your logic if a book doesn't sell, then a consigner losses money. That's absurd. How can you lose money, you never had in the first place. I can see not gaining any money, but not losing money. It is a loss. To be specific it is considered an opportunity loss. Think of it like this: The manager of a bookstore orders 100 copies of the new Harry Potter book, but 200 people show up the first day to buy copies. The bookstore has an opportunity loss of 100 copies ($1700 or so in sales) because those customers would have purchased them if the store owner had ordered them.

Congradulations Ian. So glad you finally got the comic!

MRGA claims to have one - for whater that's worth.

Nice book. I was going to bid on that myself, but I saw you were already bidding on it so I passed.

Maybe Gerry snuffed him out

If you are counting Treasure Chest, you must also include March of Comics (I didn't post this one before because of your 'on the shelf' comment I assume you wanted newstand comics)

Tarzan doesn't count as there is a very short gap before Gold Key issues.

22) World's Finest

requirement 'continuously published' doesn't fit Donald Duck nor Mickey Mouse as the first few were random Four Color issues

21) Sad Sack

Donald Duck doesn't count, I I believe neither does Mickey.

18) Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 19) Little Lulu

8) Jughead 9) Blondie 10) Popeye I'll leave the rest for others to come up with
