This thread needs a bump! Posted these in the "Run Triple" thread, but thought they could do double duty here. First three issues of Comic Monthly, the first monthly newsstand comic book.

Here's a nice comic from '49... 1849 that is.

Amazing!

[PreHero]

Amazing!

 

I agree completely. Some really cool never seen stuff.

 

Love the chase of a scarce comic, but some of the Victorian Age books, like early Scraps, have "no known sales"!

interesting...but what are the reasons?

I am guessing the "reasons" are quotes from Shakespeare's plays.

Congratulations on getting this. I seriously considered making a run for it, but felt the timing wasn't right for me. Now I regret not bidding, being both a Plat collector and a cyclist.

The word D E M O C R A T is filtered by the boards to avoid name calling on the boards in much the same way that other four letter words such as [embarrassing lack of self control] [embarrassing lack of self control] [embarrassing lack of self control] are filtered.

mess (testing)

 

Apparently a string of bad words followed the d word is now a mess.  And the political parties that start with a d or an r just go blank.

Books so rare, no one posts any for 14 years....

Well, after I posted the above photo I went on feebay to look for other copies.  I see two.  Maybe not so rare.  So let me post #2 (for which I saw NO copies):

According to Overstreet this 1930 comic may be the first one made entirely of original material (which I only found out by decoding the oddly, oblique notation -- "not-r"

This predates the original material comics from 1933 (can't recall the names) which supposedly got Siegel and Shuster inspired to sell Superman as a comicbook

The only reference I can find to this is on MCS with a 1915 publication date.  O'Sullivan Rubber Co.  Likely a later reprint but fun anyway.

I think I posted this one somewhere else years ago. There's quite a few of these 1913 editions of Oh Skin-nay on Ebay so it must not be very rare or they printed millions of them but I was able to get this autographed copy a few years ago and I researched the signers as best I could (I added the notes). It must have been popular because it also resulted in a 1913 sheet music which I was able to find too. I also bought a second copy because that one came in the original cardboard mailer. I wonder if most of these types of books were sent to booksellers in these types of mailers and sold to the public that way.
