Went way past what I expected. And I'm.happy to see that even though I wasn't the winner. I believe it is the only goldenage cover Yosemite Sam appeared on. Though his mustache is miscolered That one just went on my want list, I hadn't realized it about the cover. The book does tie for highest graded on the census, but I suspect whoever bid that much may be high. (notices issue number) Whoever bid that much is DEFINITELY high. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though his mustache is miscolered I was pleasantly surprised at this one too. So, only 2 total Sam GA covers, correct? One front and one back?

That issue is also credited by some sources as his first comic appearance but haven't been able to confirm that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks more recognizable in the interior story, but on the back cover Bugs calls him Yosemite Sam. Inside he’s called Scuttlebutt Sam but it’s definitely him. Here’s the interior page where we first see him and the top of the back page where he is referred to by name. I love this thread-there’s SO much unexplored content in these books!

Still an impressive result. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Blizzard has a nice run of early Looney Tunes on the bay right now. I am not a collector of this title but have picked up many over the years. So many beautiful and classic covers. Very tempted to pick up a few more. Although, I think the ship might be sailing fast even on these… IngelsFan and sagii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are catching fire across the board for early and cool cover issues (not just the Keys anymore). OtherEric and IngelsFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
