bergdoll Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 That is a very hard to get WDC&S! Nice! Does this bring back memories for anyone? Not the best cover image, but it brought a smile to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Here's one I like. First the cover: ...and a close-up on a very neat "bonus" on the logo. Actually - I'm a little bit of a "variant" freak and collect odds and ends such as issues with and without UPC symbols (Newsstand vs. Direct). As I mentioned earlier, I was writing about this on my website. Here's the link - I'm always interested in what other duck fans think! My article on Uncle Scrooge oddities.

adamstrange Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice article, Bergdoll. Good luck with finding answers to your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Bergdoll, are you (or anyone else) interested in the Australian Uncle Scrooge variants? I'd be happy to write a short article and scan some covers. I posted a couple last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 and a few more ducks from this hunt... Nice! That Four Color is obviously a favorite around here...and coincidentally, that WDCS is at the very top of my want list right now. I saw that cover for the first time just a few days ago, and I really love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love editions from other countries - especially the Commonwealth countries (I also collect Commonwealth and BNA stamps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Winter has hit everyone pretty hard this year, even Alaska. So think summer and spring. Things are getting better all the time. I liked this last one cause the picture of the bear eating Donald must have made someone hungry. They used the front of the comic for their shopping list. Nice pages in all of these. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anybody else watching that March of Comics on eBay? It went from $260 to $510 in the last two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sorry you didn't get it. There ought to be a ban against putting midgrade copies of the Barks issues of March of Comics in CGC holders - if any GA comics were meant to be browsed through these are the ones. Seeing the classic stories and gorgeous drawings on the cheap, flimsy pages is one of those absurd oddities that make the Golden Age so fun to collect. Btw., I wonder whether the Barks drawings on the back covers of the MOCs ever have been reprinted? As far as I can tell, they were overlooked in the new European "Collected Works". Did anyone notice them in the libraries from Another Rainbow and Gladstone? Would be a fun bit of trivia if they were the only Barks Duck drawings never to be published again...

shiverbones Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 All I know is any Barks book I do not bid on goes cheap. Any Barks I try to bid on goes for more than my bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, My name is Richard Olson and I'm an old friend of Ponseti's. Our collecting interests seem so similar that I am looking forward to meeting you at the end of the month at Bill's place. Take Care, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I just noticed a neat example of an artist re-using an idea. Two takes on the same gag from Walt Kelly (and ducks on both, of course). Here's one I've had for a year or two, the Xmas 1946 WDC&S: and here's a purchase I just made on eBay, Pogo Possum #11 from 1952: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
