The-Collector Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Last one for today. Most of you know what's coming. My favorite of the bunch. The classic Punch #9. Sooo hard to find because anyone who has one never wants to part with it. +1 There were two on comic connect earlier this year. They both sold pretty fast.

Robot Man Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 A cool post code issue from 1955. another I have never seen it before book...anything good on the inside..artists? It was published by Sterling pubs. It is #3. The first 2 issues were Tormented (pre-code). Other than the story that goes with the cover, nothing memorable.

(other than Dynamic #8 and Punch #12 neither one I have). I think it might be my favorite of the 3. The Dynamic #8 is a close second though...

ForlornOutcast Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I don't really have anything to add, but just wanted to say thanks again, I like checking out the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The folks at Beware like this more than most publishers apparently. Here is Beware #13. I know, I really need an upgrade on this one... I belive that's supposed to be Myron Fass on the cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If you any any I missed, I'd love it if you would post them! I would love to know of others that I don't have. This one sort of fits the theme I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Most everyone knows who Alfred E Neuman is. If they don't know his name, they at least recognize the face. He is popular all over the world. What a lot of people don't know is that he has been around for over 100 years. He was used on all kinds of postcards, pictures, matchbooks, signs ect both with "Me Worry?" and just his stupid mug. MAD first used a tiny picture on the cover of #21. It took until #30 for Norman Mingo to develop the Alfred we all know and love today. He has graced the covers of almost every issue from that point on. I love this pre-MAD stuff and have a large collection of it. Today, I will feature a few nice pre-MAD Alfred depictions. Let me know what you think. First up is a cool tin advertising sign. It advertises Cherry Sparkle Soda from the 1930's. I've only seen a couple of these. I also have a nice "bottle "hanger" advertisement for this that hangs over the neck of the soda bottle. Is this Alfred? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Next up is an advertisement for a law office I believe. It is dated 1914 (a little older than the sign by about 15 years) First depiction of the "Me Worry?" saying I know of. Only one I've ever seen. Is this Alfred?

Robot Man Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Lastly, is a glass paperweight. This dates to 1908 and is the oldest Alfred depiction I know of. It advertises Antimamnia dental ansthesia. There is a calendar for this product with the same image that I have seen a few times. (Jim Halpern, MAD collector on steriods, has a nice one on his site). This is the only paper weight I know of and one of my most favorite Alfred piece. I don't remember exactly where I got it but probably a flea market find. Is this Alfred?

Robot Man Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I know I posted this photo at the beginning but thought it deserves to go up again here. Shows a lot of pre-MAD Alfred stuff including the paperweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rarely it see but my money is still on Punch #9. So wild and "horrific"! I can die without #12 but really would like a Dymanic #8 to go with my Weird Mysteries #5. Unfortunately, unless I get lucky, that ship has probably sailed for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSurgeon Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Those AEN collectables are amazing. THanks for posting. I have read that the painless dentist is the first known depiction of him in the late 1800's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
