I can't see the image for some reason, bummer. Now how about that, when I quoted your post, the image appeared. Nice digest sized book. I used to buy those some back in the day. I don't know what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Happy Birthday! I was going to post a S&S cover that had a birthday theme but apparently there isn't one. There were Christmas covers, Halloween covers and Valentines covers, but no birthday covers. I think that is because SM stated that the tykes were between 1 and 2. If he had a birthday cover it would likely be because one of them had a birthday. I don't think he ever intended to age them.

Silver Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Those are some pretty sweet books. Looks like Don and Maggie had quite a collection going. These are surely the nicest Sugar and Spikes that have ever hit the market at one time, many of them the only graded copies. I bet you're in cloud 9 over these! I can't be certain, but I think from what I have seen so far, the Savannah collection (of Sugar and Spike's) was at least as big, if not bigger. Savannah's get a bad rap for pages, but the ones I have are very nice. If it were not for Savannah, Boston, Oakland, Don/Maggie. Brad Squared (I may be missing one) there would be a lot fewer HG issues. Demand and supply are just about at equilibrium through since there really aren't that many collectors of the series.

Jaylam Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I never had any Sugar & Spikes in my original collection from the 60's. I do remember seeing them on the racks. I always thought they had attractive covers, but with a limited budget, I was pretty much a superhero guy, dabbling once in a while in the mystery/horror genre. However I did get into buying some Harvey titles (Casper, Hot Stuff, Sad Sack, etc.) for a short period of time around 1969-1970. I think I still have a few of my Hot Stuffs, but that's the closest I've ever come to having anything like Sugar & Spike in my collection. That's why once that nice issue #73 crossed my path last year, I had such a hard time letting go. It was like going back and buying it myself as it was still in the original Hook's Drugstore bag with a receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 incoming! More Don and Maggie's! Really nice book. Although I never had even one issue of Suger and Spike your enthusiasm made me determined to acquire at least one example so I have bought a Halloween issue, too.

Silver Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Number 55 Don and Maggie? FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Number 55 Don and Maggie? Yes. It was not an impulse buy or anything like that. I had planned to buy a Sugar and Spike example for some time and the Savannah #55 caught my attention when put up on Heritage. But it had that slightly dark tinged look about it, especially in the speech bubble so I backed off. By comparison, the Don and Maggie copy is so bright and fresh looking with that wonderful clean purple top and night tones with moon. I thought this is the example for me.

Silver Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Excellent pick up Ian. Funny thing, I have the Savannah copy, and I bought it from a guy in England! I need to scan the book and see how the colors look. Also, that cover was good enough that SM recreated it for the final issue of the series, #98.

Heritage scans can be misleading over colors as often they are a little too bright. Please post your #55 when you get around to scanning it.

Their reds are distorted and look more pinkish in the scan than they do in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Go Sugar Go Sugar Go Spike Go Spike Love the passion you have for those classics. I personally love the Stanley and his Monster / Fox and the Crow....some day you can share those you have with all of us as well.....I'm sure they are nicer than my copies.
