BB-Gun Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) New books for the duck box. A little photoshop was used to clean up the first one. The second one has a pretty good story but it is a little rough. bb Edited November 19, 2009 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrTech Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nice books Andrew, hope my dad doesn't decide to expand his interests into foreign copies too. Nice books to you also BB-Gun, still looking for a nice copy of the 31. Watching the Heritage Auction tonight my dad picked up three: WDC&S 33 (8.0), 41, & 93. Post 'em when we get 'em. Unpacked some books tonight as well, the FC 9 is from Heritage and the WDC&S are from a fellow board member. (thumbs u Andrew p.s. I was a little disappointed w/ the FC 9 but my dad had already raised the bid and I called him too late to stop him. But now that it's in hand I'll love it anyway. Till I can talk him into an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU hope he doesn't expand his interest into foreign copies!! Just read your post with my Dad, he's curious what's the market is for Australian copies? Maybe we should expand our focus. Don't worry Andrew I'm hold'n him back. (thumbs u Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzilla Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I purchased this Original oil painting by the great Carl Barks today titled : Goleta Hillside #3 So... technically no Ducks are visible, although I suppose they could be inside the cottage. But again it is an original by the greatest Duck artist of all time so I hope you guys dont mind me posting it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kite_Fun_Books Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Donald Duck Kite Fun Book (SCE Edition) with Barks art NICE. Best duck book out there, but I might be biased. Good Deal based on what the last two sold for on ebay. I got almost the same amount last week for the copy with the piece missing out of the top.

BB-Gun Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Picked up a couple of new ducks. These are in pretty bad condition but the covers seem OK. I fixed the corners with photoshop. I always wanted this one which is sort of a baby's first Christmas gift to myself. These are missing most of the interiors.

BB-Gun Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Just Ducks? What about Bears and Donkeys? Barks wrote some pretty good stories for Our Gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kite_Fun_Books Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 First Donald Duck is a new purchase. Just back from CGC. Second Donald Duck is a regrade. Had to bust it out to look at differences on page 7. It went up in page quality during regrading. And finally Pinocchio, the year before Donald Duck and definitely much scarcer.

AJD Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 A couple from the early 70s. This one is from the Australian WDC&S run. Most of them reprinted Dell/Gold Key covers, but a few were original to the Australian series and may have been produced here. I think this is one of them. The Inducks doesn't give any other reference for this cover - which I think is a nice gag well executed. This one is from the G series, which was like the Four Color series, but only had the Disney titles. (And unlike the US, Uncle Scrooge never broke out into his own series.) The 'Best of DD' issues collected three Barks ten pagers. The total number of pages (including covers) for most Australian Disneys was 32 (which was a problem for the 32 page stories, but I'll come back to that another time). The cover of this one may also have been redrawn locally. It is based on the cover of Dell WDC&S 195 but it is different in many details, especially Donald's pose. BTW, I was in Singapore and Brunei last year and went to a couple of second-hand book stores. I asked about these old comics. The owners remembered them, but hadn't seen any in years. I suspect the tropics weren't kind to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
