3rd String DC non-sci-fi thread

[comick1]

The editors at DC knew how to give the readers what they REALLY wanted.

"Kids, who needs superheroes when you can have something far more realistic like a chimp or a gorilla?"

 

 

Wait a second. . .chimps don't really have opposable big toes, do they?

This one ain't Silver Age, but it's soitenly a 3rd or 4th string book.

Might be 3rd string but that's a pretty book and lot's of childhood past memories,

[Hepcat]

Okay, DC had lots of second stringers that weren't Sci-Fi...

 

Great thread idea!

Frontier Fighters 5 from May-June 1956 with a Joe Kubert Buffalo Bill story and art:

Yeah, that's right. Third string all the way.

[Stevenrams]

 

 

Yeah, that's right. Third string all the way.

 

Dang--And a purple cover, too!!

I have posted these in my Sugar and Spike thread, but I will post a few here:

 

[Hepcat]

I'll start with this one:

 

 

While it may be second string, it's still a super cool title!

 

[Hepcat]

Definitely! A great idea and many cool examples.

 

I actually find many of these comics to be more exciting than the more mainstream titles quite simply because they're a lot scarcer than the more mainstream titles. Superman, Batman, Flash, Justice League, etc. you can always find those. Just you ask dealers for All-Star Western, Rex the Wonder Dog, Fox and the Crow or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer though....

No way I can compete with "Silver"'s Sugar and Spike collection but I found this copy at Wonder-Con back in April. It was the last day of the show, the only day I attended and as luck would have it a dealer had this Sugar & Spike 5 on his display rack. Me, a friend, and the dealer all agreed that it would grade out as a VF+ with OW/W pages:

Love the Rudolph books, Dan and you have the best copies that I've seen. And I also love the teeny, tiny 10-centers on all DC titles from that era.

Wow, go out of town for a bit and this thread has taken off! Great, obscure books everyone!
