shiverbones Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 not much point in keeping a mid grade slabbed of such a fun issue to read Besides it looks better in Mylar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This was a cgc 6.0 OW I just tore open That is such a great story! I still remember getting my first issue of that comic in the mail as a kid. I was sick and had an awful day at school, got dropped off at the wrong place by the school bus in the rain and miserably walked home only to find, "Voodoo Hoodoo!" Changed my whole outlook on the day as I recall. Probably paid all of five bucks for it too, but condition wasn't so important in those days so yours is a tad better! I missed this before, what a cool story, thanks for sharing! These comics really can have impact like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I don't want to steal esquirecomics' photos from the thread below, but about 2/3 through his report from GEM's opening there's a picture of a Four Color 9 in a glass case. This must be the Crescent City copy that ciorac and Yellow Kid have posted smaller photos of. I thought I would remind everyone of one of the BEST contributions to comic books in quite some time. I hope it stays around!!!! Geppi's Entertainment Museum Opening Night Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Just picked up a couple of nice Australian WDC&S. No31 is April 1949 and No 243 is 1966. (We changed from the British pounds, shillings and pence to dollars and cents in early '66.) The sixpence (6d) issue has only four colour pages internally. All of the rest are B&W. Both Walt Kelly covers, I believe. (Shameless plug time: I have Pogo and duck books for sale over on the selling thread.) Cheers, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 it's more of a mental abuse, but still abuse. The beak is once again taking the brunt of the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
