Any Joe Palooka fans?

[G.A.tor]

I have never seen anyone post any Joe Palooka books here... I guess they just aren't very popular? Anyone want to share your copies? Post them to the thread!

 

Some great looking books posted so far. I would consider myself a Joe Palooka fan. Here are some of my copies.

Looks familiar. Did I forget my leather portfolio in your trunk? Clumsy me.

You have now made me laugh twice with, ostensibly, the same joke.

 

Not even ostensibly! It's the only joke I know. How long will it take you to forget it?

Foiled again, unless you'll laugh at it a third time.

My compass may be off, but I know a cool batch of comics when I see one.

Very Nice! (thumbs u

That'll get you through the door of any Palooka Fan Club Meeting!

I have a couple of PALOOKA original artwork covers in my CAF Galleries, along with a LITTLE MAX (see link below). They were reasonably priced items to collect.

 

Here's one of them:

Does anyone have a Famous Funnies #3 they can post??

 

That is the Joe Palooka cover right?

Here's one of them:

 

 

Nice cover. I agree that they are very reasonable in price. Here are my two original art covers.

Here is a Palooka cover from a not well known series of strip reprints from 1934.....(I have eight different ones....)

 

I have never seen that one before. Very impressive. (thumbs u

Both very nice . . . any other Harvey covers?

I have a handful of the Blondie, Dagwood covers as well as two of the 1950s acrylic Tracy covers. (thumbs u

 

Forgot about this one. My last Joe Palooka cover purchase. Not the best quality.

I was just doing some searches on GPA and noticed that a NM "Joe Palooka Visits the Lost City" sold for nearly $6,300 last year. Does anyone know why this one-shot sold for that much? Is it the"grail" Joe Palooka book? Seemed out of whack compared with the prices realized for Joe Palooka first issues (albeit they were in somewhat lower grade).

That's more than double Guide value ($2600 in NM), but it's a 164 page issue featuring what Overstreet calls the longest single continuous story of the era (159 pages). It also includes photos and a bio of Ham Fisher. It's probably not a very common book, and because its large size, likely hard to get in HG. It is easily the most expensive issue of the series.
