First ever Felix The Cat 'comic' from 1924. I especially love the hand written note. I have often wondered who this couple were, and their story.

Definitely belongs on the thread! Wow, cartoon character history there!

These all came from the same collection that The Gator and I brought to market. I kept these and I am quite fond of them

Incredible books, Bill :applause:

 

you guys buy comics together?

 

Sometimes, yes.

 

When I was moving out to Scottsdale, Richard (Mr. Bedrock) mentioned that he recalled a collector lived out there that had a high grade run of More Fun Comics, including a couple of Mile High copies. It rang a bell with me from the past too. He asked that if I were to locate the books he wanted the two Mile Highs.

 

So, a few months after we moved out here, I managed to hook up with the collector. Months of negotiations ensued, and Rick (Gator) and I went in on the deal together.

 

True to my word, we made sure Richard got the two Mile High More Funs, and I kept the one above. I was pleasantly surprised that the collector had a nice run of Adventures as well. We bought the entire collection. Gator listed many of them for sale on the boards a month or two ago. I'm not sure if he kept any of the books for himself or not.

 

It was a very impressive collection to say the least. There were some SA Keys as well such as Showcase #4, Tales of Suspense #39 and Journey into Mystery #83

 

So that is the story on these books

quite cool and unique piece. :) I think Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Betty Boop were the few that preceded Superman.
