shiverbones Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Just got this one in, super nice pages which is a plus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Very nice! I need that one. I'll have to console myself with this one that came in today. I like it for several reasons, one of which is that it is one of the transition issues from magazine size to comic size. It is still as wide as a magazine, but only as tall as a GA comic. Fun book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 great Bill! As TB pointed out, these transition issues are very exciting,you can sense them trying to figure out this new medium. And that is technically a Christmas cover, so I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Well, the last twelve issues of Uncle Scrooge have had Rosa back covers celebrating the 60th anniversary of FC 178. That would be issues 372-383. Given the great public service you've done with your list (thank you - I've been meaning to do that for ages), I'll volunteer to list the themes. I'll get to it later today. AJD: It would be interesting to hear which Rosa stories are considered as classics? For Barks, most fans would probably agree that "Only a Poor Old Man", "Lost in the Andes", "Christmas on Bear Mountain" etc. are keys and that the original art would have been the most desirable if it had existed. Any thoughts on Rosa? ciorac: Thanks for the increcible CC photo. As for the V5#4, few people probably realize just how difficult it is to find some of these larger sized issues in nice condition. For several of them, I have never seen a copy better than FN which makes them far more challenging than any issue from V3 and V4. Luckily for my own run, I picked up two nice copies of #4 around 2001 (one of them from moondog, who told me it was the nicest he had seen). Nothing high grade since then. shiver: Congrats on the Christmas for Shacktown. I am quietly hoping that Geppi will list the original cover art for sale some day. Just in case he happens to be reading this, I was the buyer of the WDCS 96 cover and would be very interested in a private deal for the FC 367 art.

There was a complete high grade set of MMM's that was a precursor to the CC batch. I did not get a chance to buy it, but I did see them and they were all incredible. They looked brand new. Mid and low grades are fine by me these days. This one is pretty solid. The scan makes it look more rough than it really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on Rosa? For me the classic rosa story is Son of the Sun. If I could have one piece of rosa OA it would be that US 219 cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I liked this duck from the NC water fowl sanctuary. bb And I wonder why the first comic book size Mickey Mouse Magazine is worth substantially less than the last issue. It had a nice Pinocchio back cover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
