Hepcat Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Cool! What were your favourite titles as a kid before you got into superheroes? Here are scans of the very first two comics I bought as a kid (not the same copies of course): Edited March 15, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What were your favourite titles as a kid before you got into superheroes? Early on I really didn't have a favorite. I liked all of them. Some of the earliest comic books I remember owning were Angel, Bugs Bunny, Chilly Willy, Donald Duck, Lawman, Little Lulu, Mickey Mouse, New Funnies, Peanuts, Roy Rogers, Scamp, 77 Sunset Strip, Sugarfoot, Tarzan, Tom & Jerry, Tweety and Sylvester, Uncle Scrooge, WDC&S, Yogi Bear, Zorro, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Here are scans of the very first two comics I bought as a kid (not the same copies of course): I don't remember ever seeing Cicero's Cat when I was a kid. In fact, I think the two you just posted might be the first issues I've ever seen of that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) another series with lots of Gordon won't bore you with many of these. most of the covers aren't very interesting....

I take it that Casper, Spooky, Hot Stuff and the other Harvey titles didn't appeal to you? Some of the earliest comic books I remember owning were ... Zorro, etc. But where did you get the picture? That isn't you, is it? Edited March 16, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our newsstands carried Harvey titles. I certainly don't remember ever seeing them, and I know I never read any of them. But where did you get the picture? That isn't you, is it? Yeah, the photo is me in the summer of 1958 with my parents and grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had seen any Cicero's Cat comics on the newsstand, I probably would have purchased them. When I was a youngster I enjoyed Mutt & Jeff and I've ended up collecting most of the issues. Along about 1965 I met Al Smith and he autographed an issue for me. Mutt & Jeff #13 (Summer 1944) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I received a Disney company magazine the other day with an article on the history of Goofy. I was surprised at the bottom to see a poster from the first solo Goofy cartoon as it is the cover of the only MMM in my collection. I've posted the cover below Here are scans of some of my own Goofy comics: File copy Edited August 3, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Took me many years to find this scarce funny animal book. The OSPS lists this issue the only one as scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Were you looking for a higher grade copy? I believe I got this one from Jim Payette. Wow! Nice reds on your copy. I believe if I cracked the slab and placed the book in a mylar the reds would look sharper. I wanted at least a 5.0, but couln't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Oh, the reds on your copy even from the angled pic look outstanding. It's one of the appeals of the cover. Congrats on holding out to find a decent grade one. As you say, not an easy book to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
