and here's a low grade copy of FC 164 I picked up at the same time. I'm now only missing one early FC Bugs from my Bugs want list.

Michael, can you post some scans of the Bugs story inside? I've been wanting to see if these Bark-esque Bugs FCs are worth collecting.

 

The ones I've seen are (do you mean worth reading, worth collecting or both?) -- and so are the early Walter Lantz ones like Woody Woodpecker in FC 288.

 

This is a cover worthy of of a nomination for the favorite cover gallery. Do you know who drew it?

 

Which FC Bugs are you missing?

Great! That's from Don Winslow 43? Any idea of the credits?

Could I talk you into a full-page scan?

Aren't you scared of lowering the grade by a few tenths, taking it out of the baggie and scanning it?

 

I am not afraid to scan much, only when the staples are screwed up and on the cover instead of the spine, I won't scan.

 

Anyway, that's more or less the full page. The bottom third was a Don Winslow Puzzle and I don't think you need that.

I was kidding. I guess I need to use those horrid gremlins.

OK, thanks.

I suppose if a steel boat can float, so can a gold boat. Gold's so soft that you'd have to be mighty careful about putting your foot through the bottom or bumping into a rock!

My want list was 4 issues long. I have FCs 123, 142, 164 and I only miss FC 51 now.

 

Yowtch! Pricey and scarce. Good luck.

John Stanley, known mainly for his work on Little Lulu, wrote many of these early Bugs Bunny FCs. I don't have the issue Scrooge posted ( frown.gif ) so I can't personally say if it is his work or not but there is a very good shot that it is. He also worked on many of the early FCs with Walter Lantz characters such as Woody Woodperck or Oswald the Rabbit. I personally think they are quite good. There are a little different in tone then a Barks adventure story. The Barks adventure usually flows together while a long Stanley story is often just a bunch of funny bits bizarrely connected with a lot of emphasis on character pieces.

Thanks, I remember the page with the scene from Tibet, but not the others. They look pretty cool, actually. Can't you post the complete Tibet story, just like you did with all the stories involving evil mustache guys? poke2.gif

Fantastic! Radium AND g-g-gold!

First use of an nuclear power plant. Must not be very well shielded, the way the animals walk and talk down there.

 

Thanks,

Its companion piece came in today's mail - Cave Girl 11 - What's odd is that the seller used a CBM 72 as packing material confused-smiley-013.gif

Here are the DC SF mainstays - Strange Adventures -

That's one of my favorite Strange Adventure issues. Great cover and story with vampire aliens by Anderson and then a killer Toth story.

Speaking of Toth, here's an ad from All-Star Western about a dog -
