shiverbones Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The turkey leftovers are gone. Maybe it's time to revive this thread. From 1954 to 1962, Western Publishing produced Christmas giveaway comics for Ford Motor Company, to be distributed at the famous Ford Rotunda. Some have great wraparound covers. Some issues contain comic art by noted children's book artist Richard Scarry. Most have some puzzle/activity/coloring pages. A couple of the later issues have more illustrated story content than comics. Limited distribution, puzzles and coloring pages that were often completed, and demand by car collectors make these tough to locate in condition. The Guide has recently included them in the promo comic section, but the listed prices seem pretty low. 1954 issue Pyromaniac giant bunny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
