It has a typical Scrooge story and a splash page that credits Carl Barks. That must be the only Disney publication that ever credited Barks during his working years! That's really fascinating; does that also exist in the Golden Book format or just this format? I'm not familiar with the Tip Top Tales format.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Oh and I note a 1960 copyright on the book and it looks like Barks adapted it in 1965 in Uncle Scrooge #46 which is the story I must remember reading unless he recycled the story from even earlier.

I think Top Top Tales was a competitor of Little Golden Books. They are the same size and I often found them in the same stack. I had to look at a lot of stacks of Golden Books before I purchased the Scrooge book. 50YrsCollctngCmcs and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting though in that Western was somewhat competing with themselves as they published the Little Golden Books! Maybe they wanted the full share of profit and not just the printing costs.

Popular Post paqart Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Canadian version of Vacation Parade #1, to go along with my US version. This comic, btw, is about half the page count of the US version. The only part I care about is the missing Junior Woodchucks story. Grandma Duck is at the end and Forest Fire at the beginning.

AJD Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not quite a foreign FC 386, but here are a couple of Australian reprints of Dell WDC&S I just picked up. It's hard to find nice copies, and I was pleased with these. Foxtrot70, Badger, Jasonmorris1000000 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need interior pics- the 1st and last couple pages ( including inside front and back covers). I think this giveaway was produced a bit differently to accommodate it’s cover. There is a single leaf glued to the last page at the spine, it’s not a wrap, here’s page 1 and a look at the spine... It took me a while to find my Uncle Scrooge and Donald 1 plus my keyboard died. Today I found Scrooge hiding in a box of Dell Comics (mostly Lone Rangers). Here is the inside of cover. iggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Thanks! That’s what I suspected, that they began the story with page 2 since it doesn’t really affect the story much. I appreciate your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the comic was returned then the front cover was torn off and the rest was sent to the papermill. I can imagine a stack of 50 sitting on the conveyor belts back in the sixties. I carried 200 comics from the police station on the the day I was arrested for visiting the mill on a weekend. iggy and Badger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I missed a lot of Rosa stories while collecting Gladstone comics. Fortunately, I got Don Rosa to sign several covers that he drew but not the Vacation Parade reprint which he did not.
