Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Cookie #46. Another 3-D parody cover like the GI Jane #5 I posted yesterday. There are probably more of these type of covers but I don't have any more that I know of. Cookie is a real good title and pretty underrated. Great covers and a lot of them have Dizzy Dames Moronica stories as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I continue the weirdness with the second issue of Muggsy Mouse. Why are these natives following a mouse into the jungle? They all have that stupid "zombie" look on their faces and are carrying his cheese on their heads. He must be paying a lot of beads. Muggsy's just lucky he didn't encounter the angry carrot people.

Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Ha Ha #46 Outstanding Devil/Hell cover! Love the colors and the gag on this one. HaHa's are also pretty underrated in my opinion. Lots of great covers. Pretty un-readable but the covers are killer! The title logos are great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Joe Palooka #41 Annother cool photo/illustration cover. Also features Bing Crosby a popular entertainer of the time. Real unusual cover that I didn't know about until I dug one out of a box at a con one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Peter Panda #5. A pretty well known "weird" cover. Vegetable people bondage cover. Really makes you want to eat your vegetables as a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 He Man #1. Annother short run of two issues. I featured #2 back a while ago with a great shark cover. This one is very strange. Who is the "He Man"? The reader or the gorilla? And who is "Mr. Flatfoot"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Last one today is a cover most people know of. Strange Terrors #4. Illustrated by William Ekgren. Ekgren only did a few covers for comics. All of them are very detailed and "artsy". This one should have been in my "sexual ennunendo" segment a while back. Doesn't get any more phalic and strange than this. Makes you wonder how many people put two and two together back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Here is #3 and 4: Howie Post signed the cover. I thought he did most of the Farmer's Daughter stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the "He Man"? The reader or the gorilla? And who is "Mr. Flatfoot"? That reminds me of this Rage cover which is on one of the issues that had art by Baker inside.

Scrooge Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I own a two-pager story original art from that He-Man # 1. It's actually reused from an earlier John Wayne issue, # 2 I believe. If you still have the book handy, it's the Horses of the Old West two-pager. The art came with a copy of the book so I am "proud" to also own a copy of He-Man # 1. Never chased down # 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't believe I ever posted any of these. Premium rings. These are very prized by premium collectors. Almost everybody had a ring. They are often are refered to as "decoder rings". There is only one true decoder ring I know of and it was made in the 1960's. There are some very creative and elaborate concepts with different features. Some just look cool. Here are just a few of mine. Here is a group of baseball rings from the 1930's/1940's. Left to right top are Ted Williams "batter up" ring, Andy Pafco "scorekeeper" ring, and Babe Ruth ring. Bottom are the two Dizzy Dean rings.

Robot Man Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Next up is another baseball ring. The Kelloggs "batter up" ring with mailer and papers. This is a dexterity type ring where you move the balls into each of the bases. Has a spring "bat" to launch the balls into the outfield. From the "Billy Farrow" collection. A huge collection of premiums I got at the San Diego con a number of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Buck Rogers "Ring of Saturn" Glow in the dark ring. Glows well with a bluish glow when held to the light. I have the papers and mailer some where as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 1930's "Secret Agent" lookaround ring. This is a rare prototype that was never manufactured. You look inside and there is a tilted mirror so you can see things to the right when looking straight ahead. Only one other one I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 The 1941 Shadow Blue Coal Ring. Fairly common but pretty legendary. Features the Shadow with his gas gun on each side and glows blue in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
