Borderline comic book, or clear cut ?

[Andy J.-migration]

So whats the definition of a comic to you? Whats the official definition anyway, with text picture arrangement / ratios? I'm considering sending in one of these old Norwegian books from the late 1920's for slabbing.

 

 

The format is 16.8 x 27.6cm, 32 pages in black/white red/green. The text / pics on each page is aligned like this:

 

 

I wonder if CGC will accept it. (note the sample pics are not from my issue, but taken from the same series)

I have the treasury size comics and there still comics to me.

Sequential art is a comic to me, so this is a comic.

Aight, thank you for your thoughts. Peoples opinions vary about this as with everything else in the world.

 

I think it'll look good behind shiny plastic, so I'll send it on a trip accross the ocean and back. (thumbs u

Wow - that book isn't very politically correct...

Many platinum books aren't. Ditto for GA books.

I'm not sure if they will certify that book. They have certified Platinum age books before, but I'm not certain on how wide of a selection of platinum books they will certify. You might want to call or email them before spending the money to ship it to them.

[Andy J.-migration]

Should give them a call first, yes. Altho I would send it in a bulk with other stuff so the loss wouldnt be too great I suppose, but I dont like the thought of shipping scarse books accross the world for the fun of it.

 

About the political correctness aspect of the content of some of these books, yeah - its quite frankly horrendous. Baffeling to see what people could get away with in the 1920's.

I don't see any reason why CGC wouldn't slab that book. Some of the plats are just too thick to slab, but yours seems to be a saddle stitched pamphlet like any other regular comic book. Even the overall dimensions of 6.61" x 10.86" are very close to a regular comic book. The only catch would be that the book would have to be turned sideways to fit in the slab.
