For example here is PN as appeared on books from 1936 and 1937

 

or, for example the 7 with "PN 71" also (and yes it is that blue)

 

to finish the point....note "Larson" is in the cloud.....

As seen above some Larson can be identified by "PN" "Publisher's News" the distributor

 

Another distributor is identified by "on" "Omaha News" (the larsons lived in Nebraska). The "on" may appear without "Larson" on the cover.......

 

 

....or appear with "on" and "Larson". Only books distributed thru Publisher News used a call back number....no "on" books have a number of the cover...

So that's what "on" means on my Thrilling 11. I've often wondered. Thanks, Jon!

The Larson Exciting 8 I used to have had the "on" as well. I always wondered about that--it seemed unlikely that someone just forgot the "Lars" part...

A gift from a girl. She was trying to use subliminal messages to tell Larson she wanted ot be "on" him.

Jon,

 

One of my favorite covers. What grade is that book? Have any early Marvel Mystery's you care to share.

One of my faves as well- beautiful copy

Jon, that Marvel Comics #1 is amazing. Is it a pedigree? Is it restored? How would you grade it? From your scan, it looks like it could be the best out there other than the Mile High.

Holey cr@p that book looks awesome. Interesting that at of all the Marvel Comics #1 I have seen the only October copy is the Nic Cage 5.0 that Metro has. I wonder how many are left?

My Grail Book!

 

It's really nice to have you here on the boards, Jon! I really enjoyed your posts about the Larson books. Please keep posting and informing!

[Silver Surfer]

More Marvel Mystery's please. Aside from issue #1, #4 and #9 are probably three comics books I would want to have the most.

It is indeed "restored". I got it about 20 years ago. It had a razor cut to upper left corner which was fixed by marrying from another copy of the cover. The amazing thing about this book though "restored" is that the interior pages are WHITE- not off white. Back then (and for that matter now), i am just happy to have it.....jon

Jon,

 

More please, this is such a treat to see these in raw form.
