Very nice Owl! I really enjoyed assembling the run. You know that "blonde" joke cover was used twice in the run?

 

No I didn't know that!!! What was the other issue #?.

 

Do you have a scan???.

 

Did Bill ever answer with an issue number or scan? Looking foward to the info. I'm going to add one or the other to a talk I'm giving this week!

Mystery solved. I actually did have some, crappy, pictures of the run. The two isues are #79 and #89. Slight variations to the cover, hair color, dress color, etc, but the gag is identical.

 

You can see most of the #89, but it is enough to compare it to #79 above.

 

#89 is the second from the bottom right in the top picture, #79 is 5th from the right in the bottom row of the second picture.

Thanks for the research. Surprising that they'd publish the same cover gag twice so close together. DC was notorious for recycling covers, but usually at least 5 years apart!

 

A couple of books for the want list. Does either book have a story related to the cover?

I doubt it, the cover gag usually was just that. But since I don't have them anymore I will have to defer.

How could you bear to part with your precious run of Wilbur Comics? Surely a red-hot title!

Thanks,

A run of Wilburs? I bet the proceeds could hardly keep you supplied with Coke Zero for few DAYS!
