In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

[AJD]

More Kurtzman and EC goodness.

 

This stuff is good reading - they were quite subversive comics given the Korean War was ongoing. The Civil War issues are good too.

 

 

 

I picked up another the other day - now on its way across the Pacific. This title is one of my priorities for the year. Gotta love those short runs. (15 of these)

This is had been eluding me for a while. Happy with this copy. Raggedy Ann & Andy # 30 -

That's a really cool cover. There's a touch of the surreal about those RA&A books.

[Scrooge]

Where are all the Lone Rangers?

 

Don't make me post any more books like this one.

 

With the purple and red on this cover, I am surprised no one of the CCCs (Color-Compulsive Collectors, that is) posted it before.

 

This is # 25 btw.

Scrooge,

 

We seem to be running out of Lone Rangers. Number 25 has quite a distinctive cover, with the purple background and the chief sharing the cover. (thumbs u

 

I do have a Hopalong or two to share. I always thought Hopalong was the best dressed of the cowboy characters with his distinctive black suit with a touch of grey.

Hopalong managed to market his brand extensively - on all sorts of items that one wouldn't necessarily associate with cowboys. Interesting that most of these guys are unknown by younger generations.

 

 

The Gene Autry Museum in Los Angeles has a great section of 20th century cowboy star paraphernalia among other things - and worth the trip for anyone in the area.

Well, I can sustain this a while longer ... but I don't want to be The Lone Lone Ranger Poster

 

# 29 with back cover this time -
