This is such a wacky era in Disney comics. I’d love to know who came up with the Super Goof concept. I was actually a fan. The premise was he had a garden of goobers that imbued him with powers. Go from there! Heck he even got his own book at the same time the Phantom Blot had his. Gotta hand it to the gang at Western for doing something like this!

Damn now I have to hit up GCDB! ~post post above - so little did I realize the Phantom Blot story was a dream! Also I was surprised to see the Super Goof had a 74 issue 19 year run! Man that beats almost every Golden Age hero! Edited August 13, 2022 by 50YrsCollctngCmcs OtherEric, tth2 and Badger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is #6 of a series that ran to #699. Only the first 7 were WDGC (there was a WDC series running in parallel) - after that it became more like the Four Color series with a wide range of Disney titles. Congrats on such scarce one! Something funny that I found out when looking for Australian Disney comics on your Ebay.: An Australian edition with a cover that looked very similar to me: that cover is the same as this US publication from the year before: However, this US cover is a variant this one: released a month earlier. How I know that? The above DD happens to the oldest Donald that I had in my collection during over twenty years! And then I checked and figured out that there is at least two more versions! Apparently the one from the Le Journal of Mickey is the oldest of all (at least from a publication data) , being twelve days older than the Brazilian one. It was possible that the cover was shared between the artists and they decided to make their own versions? Based in that many stories of that time were produced to be printed in many different countries, it's quite possible IMO.

tth2 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 A 9.2 FC 386 sold for $8400 on Heritage last week, which seems to indicate that slowly but surely, high grade Duck prices are getting back to their peak levels from 2006-07.

Allowing for inflation? $1 in 2006 is about $1.47 now, so I think they have a way to go yet. The 9.2 Heritage sold in Sept 2006 for $11.2k would have to sell for $17.7k today to break even. So I'd say that the recent price is under half the real value at the peak. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandelier Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Were airmail etiquettes a thing on the early Disney books? I am trying to understand if these stickers were the result of a subscription service through the mail system or whether they may have just been added on by the original owner at a young age. I can't seem to find any other examples. Thanks in advance. OtherEric and Mmehdy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a little early for very many kids on planes, though. Bandelier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 One of the most fun parts of this hobby is the “discovery”. I’ve been doing it a LONG time. Just when I think I’ve seen everything, something like this pops up. Wasn’t looking for it. Didn’t even know it existed. But when I saw it, I just had to buy it. Uncle Scrooge #1 printed in full color in Denmark in 1954. A major key no matter how you look at it. I guess if I actually want to read it, I guess I can pull out my bound copy. Someday, I need to go after a high grade copy… Anyone ever see another vintage foreign edition of this?
