Hey Richard do you still have pics handy of that Captain America display you had set up in one of your stores? I think it was around the time a Cap movie (or Avengers?) had rolled out.

Unfortunately it isn't handy. I will dig around and see if I can find it.

🪝💣 Mystic Comics 5 💣🪝 released December 15, 1940 with a house ad for Cap 1 (released December 20, 1940). Got a full hook 🪝 on one of my copies.

Yeah, the full hook is probably less common, but Schomburg art was enough to hook most readers. The thing that amazes me in the detail work is that Alex had the forethought to include a powder room.

These would be essential additions with women replacing men as factory labor during the war!

That blue wheel thing on Mystic 5 is similar to the wheel on the Subby mobile. Water-powered generator?

Speaking of ads, here's the Human Torch 2 ad for Cap 1. The back cover plugs Mystic 5. The next ad is for Human Torch 5 from Marvel Mystery 27.

More evidence of Schomburg’s mastery and desire to showcase detailed machinery in his art 😎🤓

That’s a nice full spread house ad Goodman used on the Torch 2. I like the Cap 1 cover ad that wasn’t used on the Mystic 5. Love that Marvel Mystery 9 partial swipe 😍

Love the "LOOSE TALK (sinks ships?)" sign in front of the deaf Commanding Officer's office...

Recently, I got the mouse 🐭💥 bug again. These two copies help replace a 3.5 that I had for many years. I did some reading up on Mighty Mouse history and found the following info:

🐭 Paul Terry created Super Mouse in 1942 as an animated film for the theater 🎞️ Super Mouse was a funny animal Superman swipe with the same costume colors. Then, in 1944, for the 8th film episode, Terry changed the name to Mighty Mouse and altered the suit colors. 

🐭In 1945,Terry struck an agreement with Martin Goodman to publish Mighty Mouse in Goodman’s first funny animal title, Terry Toons (1942). 

🐭Beginning in Terry Toons 38 (1st app- Nov, 1945), the powerful mouse would appear on every cover. St. John’s publishing would take over in 1947 followed by Pines and Dell Comics over the next handful of years.  From 1955-1967, Mighty Mouse became a popular TV 📺 cartoon on Saturday mornings for children to enjoy.

Or how about the #s on the battleship: 541? Lots of old wartime posters you can see online about the importance of keeping it 'under your Stetson'(example below), but I was unable to find one that had the words 'loose talk' and 'sink' on the same poster.

From the exact opposite end of the pool. What say you? A little color touch?
