  1. Four Color 322 (Porky Pig #1) February, 1951 ๐Ÿท๐Ÿš€๐Ÿช๐Ÿฐ This showed up today thanks to @MrBedrock ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  2. Recently, I got the mouse ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿ’ฅ bug again. These two copies help replace a 3.5 that I had for many years. I did some reading up on Mighty Mouse history and found the following info: ๐Ÿญ Paul Terry created Super Mouse in 1942 as an animated film for the theater ๐ŸŽž๏ธ Super Mouse was a funny animal Superman swipe with the same costume colors. Then, in 1944, for the 8th film episode, Terry changed the name to Mighty Mouse and altered the suit colors. ๐ŸญIn 1945,Terry struck an agreement with Martin Goodman to publish Mighty Mouse in Goodmanโ€™s first funny animal title, Terry Toons (1942). ๐ŸญBeginning in Terry Toons 38 (1st app- Nov, 1945), the powerful mouse would appear on every cover. St. Johnโ€™s publishing would take over in 1947 followed by Pines and Dell Comics over the next handful of years. From 1955-1967, Mighty Mouse became a popular TV ๐Ÿ“บ cartoon on Saturday mornings for children to enjoy.
  3. Thatโ€™s a nice full spread house ad Goodman used on the Torch 2. I like the Cap 1 cover ad that wasnโ€™t used on the Mystic 5. Love that Marvel Mystery 9 partial swipe ๐Ÿ˜
  4. More evidence of Schomburgโ€™s mastery and desire to showcase detailed machinery in his art ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค“
  5. ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ’ฃ Mystic Comics 5 ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿช released December 15, 1940 with a house ad for Cap 1 (released December 20, 1940). Got a full hook ๐Ÿช on one of my copies.
  6. This flew into my mailbox ๐Ÿ“ฌ yesterday ๐ŸŒŸ
  7. It has been a very unplanned 2023, but I suppose these make the highlight reel ๐ŸŽฅ ๐ŸŒŸ - all yellow covers but for one, and all Timelys but for one - and it was the age of pulp diving and picking up a random, 1940 piece of original art ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธโฃ๏ธ
  8. A plain โ€˜ole Red Circle Western from February, 1941โ€ฆ.but with a few house ads from Goodman advertising the Human Torch (#1- Fall,1940) and Marvel Mystery Comics (#15 - January, 1941) ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ˜€
  9. I like the Action title better but the Supe 5 trumps in this case.
  10. Painted ๐Ÿ‘ฝ UFO ๐Ÿ›ธ pulp cover by Alex Schomburg (1953)
  11. Fantastic Story Magazine (Sept, 1953) Full date stamp โ€œJUL 23 1953โ€ neatly placed on the ๐Ÿ‘ฝ UFO ๐Ÿ›ธ on one of the copies ๐Ÿ˜€ Schomburg ๐ŸŽจ cover ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  12. Hereโ€™s a recent pick up to add to my Goodman pulp timeline. This one is a Red Circle (NOV, 1939) and has the Marvel Comics 1 house ad inside (only the fourth pulp Iโ€™ve discovered with the Marvel Comics 1 house ad). I like how the font style and colors are identical to the Marvel Comics 1 logo. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ‘™
  13. I just wish CGC would put โ€œ10/39โ€ on their graded OCT copies. They keep the โ€œ11/39โ€ notation on both printings. At least the other company denotes the proper printing month on their label ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
