Bigphatpaulie Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) I'd love to own this book. I was expecting it to sell for more: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/four-color-series-1-4-donald-duck-dell-1940-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7340-91045.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Is this the first appearance of Donald in an American Standard Comic Book? I know he appeared in another comic (Donald Duck #nn) before this but I think that one was more of an oversized book.

It’s magazine sized like the Large Feature ones. Pain in the butt to store but still love them!

I know he appeared in another comic (Donald Duck #nn) before this but I think that one was more of an oversized book. That's a pretty book and a high price for a book that I think is all strip reprints. For my duck money I'm going to be picking up Barks books; that may hold back the value of Four Color 4 a bit. But it is a great duck cover and for CGC cover collectors I can see the appeal. In fact some of Barks' covers really don't grab you like some of the cleaner work of Kelly and Von Buettner; think of Frozen Gold vs. Old Castle's Secret. The magic is inside on the Barks' books. tth2 and Robot Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking an Eye Catching Covers for Carl Barks, Four Color 199 gets my vote If we're talking covers Kelly and Von Buettner's Work definitely have more of my favorites. Kelly's Art always catches my attention first for his brighter colors and Buettner's Covers have more going on which tell a story. dikran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty enamored with that cover and went so far as to do a recreation for a fanzine I put out as a kid with an article on Duck comics!!

No copy have been ever certified more. I personally love this book as the Bubble Pipe, but indeed they are both just reprints, so content-wise not that important. Beside that, these covers are great. I always wondered from which strip this one has been taken... I looked all of them from Taliaferro, but no luck.
