selegue Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Woody could have used those stilts later on as well. Some very odd physics in the Woodyverse! Is that actually Woody or one of the kids (nephews?)? He looks young here. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I hope everyone is prepared for an onslaught of cute bunnies! Four Color 21, Oswald the Rabbit. First solo cover, as far as I know. Certainly his first Four Color. Look at those curly ears! GCD credits Dan Gormley ? (Pencils) Dan Gormley ? (Inks) ?, not a name I'm very familiar with.

selegue Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 More Oswalds, already posted on the Four Color thread, but I think they deserve a showing here too. Four Color 507 Oct-53 Oswald the Rabbit Four Color 593 Oct-54 Oswald the Rabbit Clean character design and layout, but nothing to knock Barks or Kelly off the pedestal. I had a heck of a time trying to get the yellows on the scans to look like the books themselves. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 More funny animals, already posted on the Four Color thread but I think they deserve a showing here too. Bear with me -- last covers of the day. Four Color 39 1944 Oswald the Rabbit A beater with a great cover, almost as good as #21! Are those dancing candies and cookies proto-shiverbones or what? Four Color 67 1945 Oswald the Rabbit I think Paratrooper posted this one as one of the weirdest parachute covers out there. I like it, and it's a respectable copy. Four Color 72 1945 Raggedy Ann and Andy 4th Raggedy Ann issue. Who drew it? Aren't those great bugs? A lot of Kelly in them. Could it be his pencils or split duties? The back cover is fun too. Four Color 87 Jan-45 Fairy Tale Parade Right, no actual funny animals on the cover. They're inside. Cover is credited to Dan Noonan (?) -- seems right to me. The Walt Kelly story 'Tiny Folk and the Dragon' is a knockout! Sensitive viewers may wish to avert their eyes for the last one. Four Color 103 Apr-46 Easter with Mother Goose Utterly classic Kelly bunny cover! Too bad it's such a beater, but you get what you pay for.

selegue Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 303 is wonderful Probably only the Phantom/Bandit issues match it for Porky Pig covers in the Four Color series. Unfortunately I couldn't find any of mine to scan -- probably tucked away. GCD scans attached of a couple of them Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Francis Once of those titles that I feel kind of guilty paying actual money for. Surprisingly popular, featured 17 times in the Four Color series. The movies were a big enough hit to sell comics, apparently. Here's my favorite of the set -- not my scan. Mine are much lower grade.

Are those dancing candies and cookies proto-shiverbones or what? Could be, does the bunny shoot lasers out of his eyes and melt the lollypop?
