    Golden Age group shot

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Here is a group of GA that I picked up in the last few days. The 4 comics on the bottom row were a walk-in :o to my friends flea-market booth and he flipped them to me. The middle row were walk-ins to the Megacon show this past weekend and the top row were from dealers at the same show. I find that the time I spend in the GA forum has made it very difficult to focus on completing my silver-age runs. :P

    At what address did Jaka purchase pomanay extract?

     

    Pud Wither's Tavern? (shrug)

     

    lol Let's pray that is the answer. :wishluck:

     

    I wish. In fact, I wish I were at Pud Wither's Tavern right now -- but that's not where you go to buy pomanay extract.

     

    I'll try to write a replacement question tonight, but Real Life is hoppin' today. Someone else is welcome to jump in (with a question that doesn't involve anything published after 1970).

    123 Little College St? :wishluck:

    HAW!

     

    How many copies of this scarce treasure have shown up on ebay this weekend?

     

    Where did the Crimes font come from? I did a quick survey of Crime logos and didn't see it. From a pulp?

    The "CRIMES" font was a standard Poster font that I made 3 dimensional and then drew in the cracks. I did this cover fairly quickly because I assumed that it would be taken as a joke. I knew that the pulp guys like BZ would recognize the image. The story about the missing Ajax/Farrell issue #15 coupled with Buck saying he saw one must have given this ruse some believability. If I had more time, I would have come up with an original image in the style of Don Heck. :insane:

    The Adventures of Bob Hope

     

    The Adventures of Alan Ladd (drama, not comedy)

     

    I Love Lucy Comics (does that count?)

     

    Uncle Milty (Berle)

     

    The Official Soupy Sales Comic Book

     

    Abbott and Costello Comics

     

    The Adventures of (Dean Martin and) Jerry Lewis

     

    The Adventures of Pinky Lee

     

    I would only count: Bob Hope, Uncle Milty, maybe Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and I don't think Pinky Lee, Lucy or Soupy Sales would qualify since they are more TV personalities than radio and Abbott and Costello are movie personalities and of course Alan Ladd is drama. So let's say you've got 3 so far (thumbs u I know of at least 4 more ...

    Lucille Ball had a popular radio show called "My Favorite Husband" which was later developed into "I Love Lucy" for television. I remember listening to it as a child on Sunday nights on a military base in Japan in a quonset hut, in the 60's with a transistor radio hidden under my pillow because it was past my bedtime. How's that for a run-on sentence? :D
