Oh and in the wrong thread I know it looks like I'm promoting the book, but my intention is on this thread is that book is becoming more and more popular due to the new Justice League movie and the new Shazam movie. I believe sooner or later Warner Bros will make a film that Superman and Shazam battle each other. Edited December 27, 2015 by vane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Here's one you don't see every day . . . Oktoberfest Comics 1 Great book! I've seen images of this before, but what the heck is it about? It looks like something designed to appeal to fans of The Timbertoes in Highlights magazine. I'm trying to figure out who would have purchased it, like most B/W indy comics from the 70s it was more expensive than full color stuff available on the newsstand, and wouldn't have had much of a distribution network. In 1976 you had the first wave of underground comix falling in sales, and the other B/W books available were mostly sci-fi/fantasy oriented, like Star-Reach and First Kingdom. Sim lives in Kitchener, Ontario, which is home to the (reputedly) largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Europe. I've always been under the impression that it was a locally-produced anthology title that "borrowed" the Oktoberfest name for marketing purposes... I have a couple of copies, but I'm not sure exactly where they are... Maybe someone who's got one handy could see if there's any editorial content to confirm this? I have a copy. I'll pull it out in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion it ended in the DC Crisis on Infinite Earths of 1986, so I considered the All-Star Squadrons series a bronze age series. That'sjust my opinion.

The only text other than the comic story lines themselves is the indicia which credits Harry Kremer as the publisher, The Beavers characters credited to Dave Sim and Cap'n Riverrat credited to Gene Day. It was printed by Moir Hayes Graphics and Fairway Press. The main story line is about how the character Natter P. Bombast finds a document and claims he is the sole "owner" of Oktoberfest and forbids all of Canada to celebrate. Uncle Hans then stows away on Bombast's plane when Bombast goes on a hunt for a co-owner by the name of Running Lake. They eventually locate a descendant of his, Richard Running Lake, unexpectedly and to Natter P. Bombast's chagrin, Oktoberfest can be celebrated once more.

the blob Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Based on jscomics's sales over the last 15 days (and they usually do pretty well on their auctions), late december is a terrible time to sell BA comics, which I guess makes sense as money is being allocated to other things.

I actually save money during the year to pick up comics in December... I purchased a lot of X-men comics from JSComics, Collectors_Comics, Comics4less...All at great prices! including keys... Early this December I even picked up a mid graded X-men 1 for lower than GPA in a private sale and one on ebay. But December is now ending...I was hoping there were better keys to pick up...but most sellers already know not to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
