BB-Gun Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Printer proofs for the Barks fc 147 story look pretty nice. Better than xerox copies I think. And it is an appropriate page for those of us living on the east coast. Edited August 25, 2011 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just picked up these two: I might be the only person in the world chasing the set of eleven Australian editions of Fethry Duck. The G series (for 'Giant', although they weren't after the first half a dozen or so) was a bit like the Four Color series and had sub runs of various characters as well as a few one-shots. With these I now have all of the Fethry titles. When my camera batteries are recharged I'll take a group shot. You may be underwhelmed at your leisure.

What am I missing? I read some of the reprints in the WDC&S of four to five years ago and I just don't get it. Help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transplant Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Don't know if Guide is way out of whack or it's a function of CLink being a bad locale for this type of book, but this went waaaaaayyyy too cheap. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonds25 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The latest addition to my WDC&S run. Back in October 2002, this book was listed right after a CGC 6.5 copy that I won. Now I have both of them. I think it is interesting how the San Francisco, Windy City, and Denver copies appear to have been absorbed in long term collections decades ago. Geppi surely wouldn't have sold the Leonard Brown (Crescent City) copy unless he had been forced to do so. Now this 8.5 will probably also be off the market for the rest of my life. Beautiful book - congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I like these? Well, I'm sure that nostalgia plays a part - loved them as a kid in the late 60s early 70s. But I also like the pacing - they are like a Jerry Lewis film, with a headlong madcap rush about them. I like the way that Fethry always talks Donald around to his idiotic schemes, despite Donald's better instincts and the advice of his long-suffering cat. I'm even in print in my appreciation of Fethry - in WDC&S #669 (which also records my faulty memory for posterity, but c'est la vie). BTW - has O. O. Duck appeared anywhere else?

These bring back long lost memories from my own childhood. I guess we must be the same age since Fethry must have been one of the most era-challenged Disney characters ever. I liked the stories a lot, too, but it must have been over 35 years since I last read one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 About five years ago I decided to go for the first 71 issues of Uncle Scrooge - all of the Barks originals. Not long after I decided that my goal was to have them all in fine or better. Last week these two arrived from fellow boardie ARK (thanks Andy!) and the job was done. These replaced lower graded copies. I might still upgrade a few others if the opportunity presents itself, but the ones I have look great. Now back to the WDC&S (watch this space for a few new ones).

Duffman_Comics Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Congratulations. Did you find finishing a little bitter-sweet? One task accomplished and now the urge to find fresh fields to conquer? I know you've finished a mini-EC title run and you HAVE to be close to rounding off on the War Bonds issues, so what now? I'd appreciate the answer in an open forum. Not that I'd play spoiler or anything I'd like to think other members might "help" in the endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'd play spoiler or anything I'd like to think other members might "help" in the endeavour In order of the questions, your pushiness: Well, in truth it's not quite finished. I still need to find a fine or better #6 - but that's so difficult I'm taking the view 'it'll happen when it happens'. New fields are great - and the WDC&S will keep me busy for some time to come. I like having a big run to complete and a few small ones, which can keep the mailbox ticking over nicely. I just bought the first book in one such short run yesterday - the 'picture frame' covers of Animal Comics #17 - 24. Eight lovely examples of Walt Kelly goodness. Then there's the GGA Wings, EC sci fi and war... Always another rainbow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight lovely examples of Walt Kelly goodness. Then there's the GGA Wings ... Always another rainbow! I agree 100%. Always another rainbow and boxes to fill. I just bought an Animal Comics # 22 (albeit low grade) so I'll be on the lookout to see what you catch from that run. Don't forget to post them as you get them. And GGA Wings, ... well, who's not collecting those. I added a low grade copy of 90 at the recent Baltimore con ... but won't dare post it on the Animal Comics and on $crooge # 6, amazing how tough it is to find in better condition.

tb Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Congratulations, AJD. Watching all the thousands of posts about other publishers, it is really nice to see a few other people enthusiastic about the books that were my own favorites as a child.
