Primetime

Tec 48 (late Dec ‘40) release date was certainly a few weeks ahead of Bat 4 (mid Jan ‘41). Of course, arrival dates on comics will differ from region to region upon distribution.

My 🌟Primetime 🌟pulp pick ups for 2023.

All Winners 3, Torch 5, Cap 11, Mystic 7, and I’ll guess a Marvel Mystery 28. Certainly a Nov/Dec, 1941 time period with a few October books carrying over. Nice photo.

Final pick up of 2023 👻 ✨ 🛷 1958

That one pairs very nicely 👍🏽 Sci Fi funny animal 🐷🚀🐰

Four Color 322 (Porky Pig #1) February, 1951 🐷🚀🪐🐰 This showed up today thanks to @MrBedrock 👍🏽

Recently, I got the mouse 🐭💥 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: 🐭 Paul Terry created Super Mouse in 1942 as an animated film for the theater 🎞️ 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. 🐭In 1945,Terry struck an agreement with Martin Goodman to publish Mighty Mouse in Goodman’s first funny animal title, Terry Toons (1942). 🐭Beginning in Terry Toons 38 (1st app- Nov, 1945), the powerful mouse would appear on every cover. St. John’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 📺 cartoon on Saturday mornings for children to enjoy.

That’s a nice full spread house ad Goodman used on the Torch 2. I like the Cap 1 cover ad that wasn’t used on the Mystic 5. Love that Marvel Mystery 9 partial swipe 😍

More evidence of Schomburg’s mastery and desire to showcase detailed machinery in his art 😎🤓

🪝💣 Mystic Comics 5 💣🪝 released December 15, 1940 with a house ad for Cap 1 (released December 20, 1940). Got a full hook 🪝 on one of my copies.

The full date stamp on the BC sold it for me.

This flew into my mailbox 📬 yesterday 🌟

Thank you, Brian 👋🏽😉

It has been a very unplanned 2023, but I suppose these make the highlight reel 🎥 🌟 - 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 🖼️❣️

A plain ‘ole Red Circle Western from February, 1941….but with a few house ads from Goodman advertising the Human Torch (#1- Fall,1940) and Marvel Mystery Comics (#15 - January, 1941) 🌟😀

PM sent 👍🏽

I like the Action title better but the Supe 5 trumps in this case.
