Me neither until I stumbled across it. So I grabbed it. Nice mid-gradish; tough for treasury size. This is actually a little taller, but the cover stock is a bit thicker than Marvel/DC treasuries, at least going by hand feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the image is in the post you are directly replying to, the image should be in the reply. If the image is in a post that the post you are replying to replied to, then you have to highlight both posts and click on "Quote this" when it appears.

AJD Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Here are a couple of books that turned up in a care package from Heritage yesterday. The 82nd and 83rd of the first 100. Both nice solid books with just enough issues to be easily affordable. Great PQ on both too - offwhite/white at worst, which is nice for books 73 years old. I've picked up two more since then, but they remain a large ocean away for now. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great finds! The Barks books from #31-#50 seem as hard to find as any in the series except #2, which I feel has always been the most difficult and the key to completing the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seriously been looking for 1-5 (yet?) but I have noted that #2 is tough in any reasonable shape. I'd have guessed that #3 is similarly difficult though? #4 up seem relatively easy, though some don't seem to come up in mid-grade or better very often. The others I need (in case anyone is interested) are 10, 11, 14, 18, 21, 34, 35, 36, 41, 45 and 48. Of those I'd say that 14, 21 and 48 seem the hardest in VG or better, though it might just be a statistical fluctuation in the sample I've looked at. Anyone with leads on any of those books is welcome to drop me a PM! Hmm... (takes off socks and shoes to count)... yes, that's right. 84 of 100 down. 11 hours ago, sagii said: Congrats Andrew Thanks Corey. I don't know if I'm going to ever get those first five, but I feel good about the other 95 now.

What changes did they ask for? He had to redraw the opening splash (deemed too scary in those pre-code days) and cut a couple of sequences in the body of the story. One for being too scary and one for being too sexy. Luckily the original art survived and the story appears as Barks originally intended in the recent Fantagraphics reprint.
