What a run!!! :cloud9:

 

All you need is the 51 to have all of the psuedo 3D issues (it has one 3d-ish story in addition to the cover)

 

Almost impossible to find these in more rarefied grades - these copies are about as good as they ever come. Great coup, Richard. :applause:

 

For the sake of completeness, perhaps I should mention there is a truevision story in #59 also, and it has a weird puppet cover.

Thanks Mike. I am looking for 51 and 59 as well as the True-Visions in other ACG titles. I saw one of the Lovelorns in Chicago and have dibs on it when it sells.

Darn I used to have the romance ones in nice shape but sold them long ago. If I see any I'll let you know.

Tonto, I've said ad nauseum before, is one of my favorite '50's series. Here's from a recent package from CatRick issue # 28 which is no less entertaining than others in the run. Tonto is great because it packages superlative art with entertaining & charming stories. The plot of these stories is not the tired retread that you run into in most westerns you read b/c this is not a shoot'em up but these are vignettes of native american lives so they are more quiet and community oriented with little conflict raging. And the horses appear drawn effortlessly and naturally. Love the horses in Tonto.

For some stupid reason I was waiting to finish my Hi-Yo Silver run before I started collecting the Tonto's. I'm really kicking myself after seeing this post.

On this p.m.'s reading list was this Tom Mix premium -

Art is nice. Story so - so. I didn't realize what the other features were and was happy to run into Jane at Dream Castle. Fanciful & fun -

Don't beat yourself up. I'm sure you're picking up really nice copies in the Silver run. The Tonto's aren't hard to come by either.

 

For more eye-burning experience, here's my morning read: Gene Autry 9 from 1947. The combo of a Western photo cover and Jesse Marsh interior art is sure to please Tim :baiting: Truth be told, I enjoyed it :blush:

Killer cover! However methinks the location of that last train car on the right is very oddly placed.... hm

 

Fred...? Fred Wertham, is that you?

 

I will never be able to look at that cover again without thinking about how I look in the mirror after a bath.

 

Or even before.

I don't usually buy photo covers but this one gave me the idea of putting together a little collection of the "top ten" worst shirt covers of Gene and Roy.

I spent a while going through GCD and had to quit because I couldn't narrow it down. I'll give it another try later on though.

Nice. I saw a few episodes of Lassie when I was a kid but I don't think I ever saw a RinTinTin.

When she was younger, my daughter was very into dogs. She's more into boys, now, so I collect them for myself. They aren't very spendy but are tougher to find in my grade than I had originally thought.

Plenty of violent pre-code western stories in Death Valley #1 and #2. A lot of different ways to die in these books.

The first issue is all Andru/Esposito and the second issue is all Heck. I enjoyed the stories and art in both of them with the exception of a few "face" problems by Heck.

When I was a kid, I saw many episodes of RinTinTin but I don't think I ever saw a Lassie.

 

Still, the Lassie comics trump the RinTinTin books.

Must not look at this thread :pullhair:

 

Nice books :thumbsup:

 

Never notice that bloody shovel cover before. Comic Media never stilted on the violence. Even the one romance book I have of theirs has a dame getting slapped around in it.
