Twistty1 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I succumed to temptation and acquired another D copy ... not quite in hand yet. cool, but unless this means you're donating it to me, what's it doing in MY g.a. ped run thread? oops... my apologies I quickly posted while at work and mistook it for the pedigree thread... Sorry can't have this one... I'll delete it. Edited April 28, 2011 by Twistty1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) yeah, I made that mistake - but I was greeted only by a grim silence from Stonewall Parker here and hastily got out of Dodge!

cosmic farmboy Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Nicely done on the FF 209. Since Gary Dahlberg would have only been about five years old when this hit the stands, it will be interesting to see if any other TC pedigree books surface which beat or even come close to the age of this one.

[i use the loose definition for my type set---more books to collect] book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnDave-migration Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Sorry to be such an infrequent member, but if my memory serves me correctly, I believe Gary acquired that copy of Famous Funnies in the mid 60's. While he certainly did purchase various comics in the 50's, it was primarily the DCs and Disneys. Superman and Uncle Scrooge were his life-long loves. I hope this doesn't diminish your enjoyment of it. It is truly a wonderful piece. Edited May 17, 2011 by MnDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
