adamstrange Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I like how this cover turned out after the colorist did their work -- very effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Great stuff, Seadevils! Switching over to Dell, here are three funny-animal Four Colors that I'm glad to have in any condition. Four Color 19 -- one of my favorite covers of the run. A rousing adventure story with great artwork inside too! Four Color 71 -- Walt Kelly artwork and supposedly one of the toughest books in the run. Four Color 129 -- supposed to be another tough one, but Gerber gives it SI 3.

shiverbones Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Nice books! I never had a 71. I really like the thumper/ Dwarves book - it's very fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that 71 was loaded with Kelly until I opened it! Confirmed in Overstreet. I don't know whether he did all the artwork, but you sure can see his hand on most pages.

CAP Freak Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Very cool, CF!!! Have you read any of the stories? Yeah, there are some cool Nazi stories where Super Rabbit gets knocked out by this Nazi submarine crew and then wakes up and rounds them all up and takes them to jail. I'm thinking about getting it restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I guess I just like the idea of a beautiful copy more than the economics of it. I gotta learn how to restore these junkers, that would be sweet.

AJD Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 New pickup, crossposted from the grading forum. (Andrew/AJD, I blame you for this one!....) Ha ha - I'm happy to accept responsibility for that Jon. Lovely copy of a great comic book. Walt Kelly's letter to the readers inside the front cover is worth the price of admission by itself. One day I'll get around to transcribing it for the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underthebigw Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 "What's up Doc" with an Attitude ! Bugs looking James Dean COOL. -Hank Sweet book. I don't know how I missed this thread (OK, I do--to much time in general and BA), but I'm psyched to see everyones Dells. This is not good for my collecting focus, though. I'll start posting some GA Looney Tunes I just mentioned in the 4 Color thread tomorrow, including the 15 I just picked up. Man, I'm psyched. (And god, I'm pathetic).

underthebigw Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Forgot yesterday was a holiday and was tied up with family stuff. And I've only found one stack so far. But here they are. I picked these up from Marc Nathan, who had these for years in his back issue box. The were passed over for almost 10 years worth of shows, and the four colors and Lulu's were apparently just as nice, but had sold years earlier. Man, I wish I was interested in those books earlier so I would have grabbed them. All of these are the childhood books of one OO, who Marc described as "an old, Italian guy" who walked into his store. One more comment--I'm too lazy to remove them from their 10 year old mylites, which are somewhat worn. In almost all instances, any apparent scuffing along the spine and edges is on the mylite. Pretty much the only damage on these is the occasional dust shadow or ding. They are just beyond sweet. This is far and away the most spectacular of the batch--the blemishes along the spine are from the mylite. I honestly never thought I'd own a black cover book from the 1940's this nice. Just to be practical, I'll split this into two posts..... Edited April 13, 2009 by silverandbronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
