Duffman_Comics Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Found this photo on the internet. Thank you so much for finding and posting that. Now I get it - GK was simply reprinting the books, dropping the cover price and bundling them as some sort of marketing experiment. I looked at the indicia on the book I have and there is no price - or subscription info for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the indicia on the book I have and there is no price - or subscription info for that matter. Has anyone read a good history on Gold Key / Dell. The best stuff I have read so far have been on Evanier's blog, "News from Me," and several articles in TwoMorrows, "Back Issue," and "Alter Ego," fanzines. I understand there is a book about Golden Books that covers some of this history. One of the most fascinating characters to read about is Helen Meyers (you will see her name all over the Dell comics in the fifties.) She apparently ran Dell like her own fiefdom and ended up bitterly dissapointed when the owner left the company to family rather than to her.

Sometimes I hate being in the wrong time zone for the selling forum. All jokes aside, great pickup and congratulations . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I got another shipment today (there'll be one more soon and then a long hiatus while the bank account catches up...) First up is a FC 275 (Ancient Persia). These classic Barks Four Colors are really hitting the spot right now. (Totem Poles to come later.) Then a couple of WDC&S with great Kelly covers. Odd staple placement on these ones - but it is a production fault, not a later addition. Luckily the wide offset on #99 is just outside the panel border in the first half of the book, so it remains completely readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up is a FC 275 (Ancient Persia). These classic Barks Four Colors are really hitting the spot right now. (Totem Poles to come later.) FC 275 is one of my favorite duck stories. It is interesting in that you start to see Barks push to use more realistic faces for his characters but the story still has all the charm of his other tales. Some of the later effots where he did this like Danerous Disguise have a very different feel. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u Trust me, I am still scratching my head on this one. At first, I thought it was a non-Barks issue like 383 (?) but no, the pricing was all goofed up. Picked up a couple of books and got a group discount on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 These beauties turned up today. This one was in a slab (emphasis 'was') - one of the 'other' companies. As a result it was slightly overgraded, but still nice. This one was an upgrade (the old one is in the sales thread). 7 Cities... And this one completed my Barks Scrooge run. (Yay!) I paid VG price for it, but it looks nicer than that in hand. Group shot to follow. And, yes, I know it's trimmed, but I'll live with it for now.

Scrooge Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I received a stack of Four Colors as my end of a large (for me anyway) trade deal. Only 2 Ducks in the pile but I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
