Badger Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's definitely not high grade, just a solid reader. But I'm very happy to finally add a copy to my collection: Woo! Well loved copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have this one. I didn't actually notice the label notation until after I had won the book. I would guess there may be many more of these around. It lacks the cool stamp that's on the covers of the FC 29 and 189. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Here's mine. I wanted to have something from his estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have a Barks estate book too, but I think I like the COA almost as much: Here's the book. It's in a 'wrong' slab so I've cropped the picture. Does anyone know if CGC would reslab it with the provenance retained? It looks undergraded to me too. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that with the documentation you have CGC would slab it with the same label notation as on the two earlier Barks estate books shown in this thread.

Metfan1986 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Agree with the well loved, which I absolutely think gives it a charm. It's a great copy to own.

AJD Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The tortoise inched forward another step this week. Even though this one is a little careworn, I'm pleased to tick it off for a very reasonable price. The pages are really nice, which is a nice bonus - it's usually a leap into the unknown buying on eBay. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I certainly agree with you about buying books on eBay--most of the time I am disappointed with the results. However, not only does this one look like a winner, but I am delighted to see your tortoise moving forward. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I was having this conversation on another thread but thought I would continue it here because the Duck group may be more aware than I about the numbering system. I think the numbering starting with FC 147 when the title changed from Donald Duck to Walt Disney's Donald Duck (WDDD). There were 25 issues with that title before WDDD #26 (Trick or Treat). I am assuming the count was retroactive and the first 4 Donald Duck issues in the second series of Four Color comics weren't included due to the title difference. Can anyone confirm or explain it better? Edited May 22, 2016 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 This thread was sinking into the Stygian darkness, so I thought I'd revive it with a couple of great back cover movies ads from WDC&S. These are from #s 54 and 77 respectively. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess there may be many more of these around. It lacks the cool stamp that's on the covers of the FC 29 and 189. I'm pretty sure I no longer have them but I used to have a couple of his personal books. They had a stamp inside on the margin of the first page that said something like "If you have this copy it is stolen from the personal library of Carl Barks".

Yellow Kid Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 One of the great extras of the Mickey Mouse Magazine series and the early WDCS issues are the ads. Everything from dolls and watches to new movies like the two above are great to see. I think Song of the South is available on both tape and DVD--it's a great movie with nice animated sequences and some wonderful songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Q. Why can't I find this movie anywhere? A. You cannot find this movie anywhere because after Song of the South's last theatrical release in 1986, Disney decided not to re-release it again... The movie has been released on video and laserdisc in various foreign countries, but never in the United States. As of December 2001, Song of the South was withdrawn worldwide.

Sqeggs Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 It's kind of ironic that Splash Mountain--of course, one of the most popular rides in DL and WDW--is based on a movie Disney won't let us see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
